An Insight to Deity

It has been a delightful Sabbath day. Today’s meetings were excellent. They were uplifting and gave the boost that I am sure that I will need this coming week. It is interesting to be involved in a singles ward in a college area. The end of the school year brings about an end of the consistency of the congregation as it has been for the last several months. It is a bittersweet time as you have people that are returning home for the summer but who are moving on with their lives. You never know who you might see the next year. Tonight I had the opportunity to share my testimony with all the people that were there. It is funny the way it usually works when I share my testimony. I usually have a hundred things that I would like to say and then end up not saying any of them. The Lord knows better what the people need to hear and so I try to merely be the conduit through which He can speak. Dru and I also had the opportunity to talk quite a bit today. We spent a good amount of time this afternoon talking on MSN instant messenger and then we spent another hour or so talking following ward prayer. He is a wonderful friend and I admire him a lot.

I have come to a greater understanding of what it must be like for the Savior and our Heavenly Father who want to help us so much, but having to watch us sometimes suffer immense amounts of pain, knowing sometimes that it could have been avoided. I can’t imagine it being easy to not say what they know we could do to fix things, but rather they let us work out our own problems and wait for us to turn to them for help if we desire it. Sometimes even when we ask for help we still have to work things out on our own. It’s an interesting thing to try to understand, but even if I might not understand all of the things that happen in life I know that They know the end from the beginning and that all things may work out for our benefit.
