Lay The Burden At The Feet Of

Worthy Character Is Best Forged From A Life Of Consistent, Correct Choices Centered In The Teachings Of The Master.

Sadness, Disappointment, And Severe Challenges Are Events In Life, Not Life Itself. I Do Not Minimize How Hard Some Of These Events Are. They Can Extend Over A Long Period Of Time, But They Should Not Be Allowed To Become The Confining Center Of Everything You Do.

It Really Does No Good To Ask Questions That Reflect Opposition To The Will Of God. Rather Ask, What Am I To Do? What Am I To Learn From This Experience? What Am I To Change? Whom Am I To Help? How Can I Remember My Many Blessings In Times Of Trial? Wiling Sacrifice Of Deeply Held Personal Desires In Favor Of The Will Of God Is Very Hard To Do. Yet, When You Pray With Real Conviction, "please Let Me Know Thy Will" And "may Thy Will Be Done," You Are In The Strongest Position To Receive The Maximum Help From Your Loving Father.

I Witness That As You Gain Experience And Success In Being Guided By The Spirit, Your Confidence In The Impressions You Feel Can Become More Certain Than Your Dependence On What You See Or Hear.

Just When All Seems To Be Going Right, Challenges Often Come In Multiple Doses Applied Simultaneously. When Those Trials Are Not Consequences Of Your Disobedience, They Are Evidence That The Lord Feels You Are Prepared To Grow More. He Therefore Gives You Experiences That Stimulate Growth, Understanding, And Compassion Which Polish You For Your Everylasting Benefit.
