Quote

We are the spirit children of a Heavenly Father. He loved us and He taught us before we were born into this world. He told us that He wished to give us all that He had. To qualify for that gift we had to receive mortal bodies and be tested. Because of those mortal bodies, we would face pain, sickness, and death.

In life eternal, there is perfect joy and light, without pain or torture, and there is communion with God Himself and His angels.

We ourselves can die with comfort and even with joy if we know that death is but a passport to blessedness, that this intellect, freed from all material chains, shall rise and shine.

Many of the lessons we are to learn in mortality can only be received through the things we experience and sometimes suffer. And God expects and trusts us to face temporary mortal adversity with His help so we can learn what we need to learn and ultimately become what we are to become in eternity.

In our lives, we have good things and bad things, happiness and pain.

The minute we stop learning, we begin death, the process of dying. We learn from each other with every action we perform. We are teaching goodness or evil every time we step out of the house and into the street.

Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God.
