I will lead you along

There once was a man who had a huge desire to please God,

so he prayed day and night until one day a Voice spoke to him, “I want you to go and push a rock.”

The man woke up the next morning elated, and ran outside to find a huge boulder. He began pushing it, but nothing happened, so he kept at it all day. The next day he did the same, yet it still didn’t budge an inch. He went on like that for three months, until one day he got so frustrated that he stopped pushing.

That night he had a dream, and the Voice asked him, “Why did you stop pushing?” “Nothing happened,” he answered. “Nothing happened? Look at you! Look how determined and focused you’ve become. Look how powerful your muscles are now. You’re no longer the person you were when you started.

Besides, I didn’t tell you to move the rock; I told you to push it. I’ll move the rock when it’s time.”

Keep pushing your rock. It’ll move at the right moment, in the perfect time, when you least expect it.

The world will provide you with stones every day.

What you build out of it, is your choice.

Wall, Road or a Bridge….

You may also choose to do nothing.

At the end, the world will know you by what you did with it.

"We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord's tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance."

David A. Bednar

But the key is that we must take it just one step at a time.

How we handle these challenges determines whether they

become stumbling stones or building blocks.

"The path to eternal life is not on a plateau. Rather, it is an incline, ever onward and upward.

Hence, ever-increasing spiritual understanding….

“Divine favor will attend those who humbly seek it.”

Thomas S. Monson

"He who knows the path perfectly has promised, "Be of good cheer, for I will lead you along.”
