I take
some home from the Lord releasing Brigham Young from the obligation to leave
his family and travel to preach the Gospel.
It sometimes feels (and reading the close of the Book of Mormon
drives that feeling home) that this mortal life is a dark and dreary
situation. Yes, the time will come that
we, like Mormon, will receive our release into the welcoming arms of the Lord
but unto such time, it feels as though trials and tribulations are our
inevitable lots in life as we strive to walk the path of discipleship.
But
while that is true (growth and comfort will never occur at the same place and
same time), that doesn’t mean that the challenges we currently face are slated
to necessarily persist indefinitely. The
day will come when whatever we are suffering through today reaches its
conclusion (perhaps in the next life, but perhaps in this one). Another challenge may take its place, it is
true, but the Lord will walk with us through that challenge as well and
continually grant us the strength that we need.
