“No
pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted.
It
ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as
Patience,
faith, fortitude and humility.
All
that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently,
builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us
more tender and charitable,
more worthy to be called the children of God…
And
it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the
education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our
Father and Mother in heaven”
-Spencer W. Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle-
