These are just my thoughts as I study the Doctrine and Covenants for my class at BYU. This blog is meant to just be my thoughts, and is not necessarily official doctrine of the church. For more information about the LDS church, visit the links on the left.

Sections 103, 105
After MUCH tribulation cometh the blessing. This is why the Lord permitted the saints to be persecuted, and why we have challenges and trials today. After much suffering, we are blessed--more than we thought possible! I have a strong testimony of this principle, especially as of late. Last semester I had some big challenges and trials that stretched my faith to new limits. After much suffering I have had enormous blessings come this semester. I have been blessed in ways that I simply did not foresee when I was experiencing the trials. Heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves, and He blesses us in better ways and at better times than we could ever plan or dream of.

All I can say is amen to that testimony. I too have experienced this and the joy we feel when we walk through to the end of a trial is only as sweet as the worry, sorrow, and suffering that we went through. It really is only through the bitter that we really learn to taste of and be grateful for the sweet.
