My book for tonight : However Long and Hard the Road by Jeffrey R Holland. Ch. 2. I love his quotes!-
In times of extreme difficulty, the only strength upon which we can fully rely is Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Indeed, any tribulation will be considered well worth it if it humbles us, increases our faith, and brings us closer to him who bought us with his own pain and blood.
In the depths of despair we may find ourselves coming to know him in a completely new way, finding that he goes before us on our right hand and on our left, that his spirit is in our hearts, and that his angels are round about us to bear us up.
The great challenge of our lives is usually not meditation on what we once were or wishing on what we may yet be come, but rather living in the present moment as God would have us live.
The past is to be learned from, not lived in, and the future is to be planned for, not paralyzed by.
