Doctrine and Covenants 128

(December 17, 2013)
One of my favorite quotes is that ‘growth and comfort never occur in the same place at the same time.’  I have always thought that clever, and have appropriated it for my own use many times.  But recently I have begun to realize both how true it is, and how uncomfortable growth can be.  The process of purification is a matter of allowing the Lord to burn away your impurities.  There is no comfortable method for placing yourself within the refiner’s fire.  You must be willing to do so, it is true.  But then you must accept that you will inevitably be burned in the process.
