While you are passing through your trials, the pain and difficulty that comes from being enlarged will continue. If all matters were immediately resolved at your first petition, you could not grow. Your Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son love you perfectly. They would not require you to experience a moment more of difficulty than is absolutely needed for your personal benefit or for that of those you love.
Richard G. Scott
“No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is not His character to do so. He is an unchangeable being; the same yesterday, the same today, and He will be the same throughout the eternal ages to come. We have found that God. We have made Him our friend, by obeying His Gospel; and He will stand by us. We may pass through the fiery furnace; we may pass through deep waters; but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from all these trials and difficulties the better and purer for them, if we only trust in our God and keep His commandments”
Jeffrey R. Holland
The Lord called Moses to do what he thought was impossible. And yet, he was able to lead the children of Israel to the promised land. How often do we think our journey to our own promised land is too difficult for us? The Lord miraculously parted the Red Sea so that the Israelites under Moses' leadership could pass through on dry ground.
Just as the Lord parted the Red Sea for Moses, he will make a path for us, he will part a way for us that we may arrive on the other side of our trails, our difficulties the better and purer for them.
I love this! Thank you :D
