When you cannot see the hand of God trust His heart

“…Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.”

 

James E. Faust

 

 

“When your first child is born, you become a father. The title father is sacred and eternal. It is significant that of all the titles of respect and honor and admiration that are given to Deity,

He has asked us to address Him as Father.”

 

 

Being male is a matter of birth,

being a man is a matter of age, but being a gentleman is a matter of choice.

 

 

"A father's calling is eternal and its importance transcends time.

It is a calling for both time and eternity."

 

Ezra Taft Benson

 

Tender and mercy. Two synonyms for the Savior.

He is Tender.

He is Mercy.

How gentle He truly is.

How truly sensitive his soul is. Uniquely sensitive.

Each time he reaches out to us in an act of love, of compassion, of understanding,

each time demonstrating His mercy.

so tender and so caring when He reaches…..especially in our hardest days.

But there seem to be times when it is more difficult to see the hand of God.

Moments where we will be left wondering.

Moments where we wonder if He even cares that we are perishing.

Moments where the crack of thunder and

spray of the storm tossed sea can drown out the sweet whisperings of the Master.

Moments when we need to hold on to this advice:

“When you cannot see the hand of God trust His heart.”

Remember who He is.

Remember His gentle character.

You might not see it clearly now, but His goodness will rise to the top.

Even tragic experiences can become opportunities to testify of His tenderness and His mercy.
