I often times am not sure where any lesson will take us on a given day. I know what I have planned, but rarely do we follow my outline from start to finish. And so it was today.
D&C 121:2-3- In both these verses as Joseph is pleading with the Lord about the afflictions of the Saints, he asks "How long" will the trials last. The Lord responds, in more than one place, that the trials will last but a small moment. We spent a lot of time talking about how to gain the perspective of viewing our trials as small moments. I appreciated all the insights that were shared.
It is one of the most difficult principles, to actually believe that our afflictions, whatever they may be, are all to give us experience, and for our good (D&C 122:7), but there is some secret to be found, some peace to be gathered, as we contemplate what the Son of Man has done, and continues to do, for us all.
