I Feel My Saviors Love!

In this months Ensign President Monson while speaking about missionaries said, "The Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it". This is a perfect example of how Heavenly Father will not give us trails we can not handle. Even though he was speaking of missionary work it applies to everyday situations. He does not put us through trials to see us suffer but to build us up for what our pre-ordained calling is or will be.

The last few months have been extremely difficult but I know with out a shadow of doubt that it was the best thing that could have happened. I have a much closer relationship with my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Even though I am a frightened to think that this whole experience happened to shape me for what is to come. I know I can handle it with the Lord there to help me.

I love my Savior and all he did for me, I appreciate that he suffered all Earthly sorrow. For whatever reason through everything with loosing Hope it has been a great comfort to know that he knows my sorrow. He is there to help lift me up out of the depths of despair and there to not just say "Oh, be strong" but to cry with me and comfort me. He gives me time to morn but helps me to not feel sorry for myself. He helps me know that this life is not the end! I have always been taught about Eternal Life but it has never been so real, so tangible, and I have never had a greater testimony of it then I do now. I'm grateful more then ever for him and what he taught and sacrificed for me.
