“Ultimately, the gospel of Jesus Christ was not given us
primarily to PREVENT our pain. The gospel was given us to HEAL our pain. That
is the promise of the scriptures: the Atonement not only heals us – it can
sanctify our trying experiences to our growth.
“Our doctrine is not just that adversity can help us learn
and grow; rather, it is that Christ, because of what flows from the redemption,
gives us the power to make weak things strong, to sift beauty from the ashes of
our lives.”

Bruce C. Hafen, “The Belonging Heart”, p 90-1
Thou art my Prince of Peace,
Thou art the God I know,
Thou art the love of my soul,
Thou art my comfort, my guide, my all.
