This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life.
It’s adventurously expectant,
greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?”
God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are.
We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children.
And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance!
We go through exactly what Christ goes through.
If we go through the hard times with him,
then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!
Romans 8:15-17 The Message
***
For each of us, life is a journey.
Heavenly Father designed it for us out of love.
Henry B. Eyring
***
Our Heavenly Father, who loves us completely and perfectly,
permits us to have experiences that will allow us to develop
the traits and attributes we need to become more and more Christlike. . . .
As we understand this doctrine, we gain greater assurance of our Father’s love.
We will each face times of difficulty,
and the question is not when we will face them
but how we will face them.
James B. Martino
