pam Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 “With all the differences in our lives, we have at least one challenge in common. We all must deal with adversity. . . . It is in the nature of our being human that comfort gives way to distress, periods of good health come to an end, and misfortunes arrive. . . . The arrival of suffering or the loss of material security can bring fear and sometimes even anger. . . .“The very opportunity for us to face adversity and affliction is part of the evidence of [Heavenly Father and the Savior’s] infinite love. God gave us the gift of living in mortality so that we could be prepared to receive the greatest of all the gifts of God, which is eternal life.” Henry B. Eyring Quote
applepansy Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 When everything is going well we have a tendency to rely on our own strength instead of always relying on Christ. It took me a long time but I'm grateful for adversity. It brings me closer to the Savior. I now need to learn to stay close even in the good times. Quote
