Wingnut Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am impressed with how aware you seem to be of the temptations that present to you in your unique situation, and also with your presence of mind as you work to overcome the trials you have. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Small_Voice Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 You are dealing with far more trials than I think I ever will. It is amazing what men and women can accomplish thru the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Thanks for sharing your story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interalia Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 You are dealing with far more trials than I think I ever will. It is amazing what men and women can accomplish thru the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Thanks for sharing your story.From Joseph Smith Manual Ch 19"While suffering greatly during his imprisonment in Liberty Jail during the winter of 1838–39, Joseph Smith wrote to members of the Church: “Beloved brethren, we say unto you, that inasmuch as God hath said that He would have a tried people, that He would purge them as gold [see Malachi 3:3], now we think that this time He has chosen His own crucible, wherein we have been tried; and we think if we get through with any degree of safety, and shall have kept the faith, that it will be a sign to this generation, altogether sufficient to leave them without excuse; and we think also, it will be a trial of our faith equal to that of Abraham, and that the ancients will not have whereof to boast over us in the day of judgment, as being called to pass through heavier afflictions; that we may hold an even weight in the balance with them.”It would appear we all will need to be tried as Abraham before we can obtain Celestial glory and I doubt I am there yet!
