Perspective in Trials



"When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked. When we have been weighed and found wanting, let us remember that we were measured before and we were found equal to our tasks; and, therefore, let us continue, but with a more determined discipleship. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not overprogram us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear (D&C 50:40)." â€”Neal A. Maxwell, "Meeting the Challenges of Today," 1978.

I always enjoy the messages Elder Maxwell gives us. This was a wonderful article, and I think others will agree. I think it's interesting to note he also stated that, " we were measured before and we were found equal to our tasks.." Elder Maxwell always puts things in perspective for me. 


 


We had to be measured before, because we know that we were reserved for this day and age. Due to our standing in the Spirit World with Heavenly Father many have been given blessings and/or trials in this life to further bless is in the eternities ahead. This is a blessing we know for sure. Gar
