Eyring, Women's Meeting, The Comforter :
I have seen that miracle time and time again. We lighten the loads of others best by helping the Lord strengthen them. That is why the Lord included in our charge to comfort others the command to be His witnesses at all times and in all places.
Only God knows hearts, and so only He can say, in truth, 'I know how you feel.' So I can only imagine both her joy and the sorrow that preceded it, but the Lord, who loves her, knows. I can know only partially how much He feels joy each time you, as His disciple, help Him bring a moment of peace and joy to a child of our Heavenly Father. I bear my witness that the Lord has asked each of us, His disciples, to help bear one another’s burdens. We have promised to do it. I bear my testimony that the Lord, through His Atonement and Resurrection, has broken the power of death. I give my witness that the living Christ sends the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, to those we are pledged to help Him comfort.
I love this because I get the impression that we are sent to a place, to be a visiting teacher to certain women because they need US specifically. There are ways that only we, you or me, can comfort them. I know we are meant to cross paths with certain people at certain times in our lives. I'm grateful those moments were seized. Take a moment to think about every choice it took to get you to THIS spot. Think of all the times the Lord sent someone to you when you needed comfort. He knows you.
