Today in church a man testified of how the Savior rescues us with lots of tender mercies during our trials. He doesn’t take away trials, necessarily, but He provides us with the tools to endure them. I knew exactly what He was talking about. I have witnessed those so many times throughout my life. They build a testimony and a conversion.
Sometimes I find myself wondering about things… things change – emotions change, circumstances change. I find that I easily forget the bad things. I let things go so easily. Someone hurts me, but then they are nice to me a while later – and I’m good, I just let it go. I think this is a good thing according to the teachings of the gospel, but for my personal welfare, I’m not so sure. I don’t want to let harmful people back into my life just because they are nice to me now. At the same time, holding a grudge is such a pointless waste of time – so nonproductive. But I feel that, for my safety and the safety of my family, I need to remember some things, some things that remind me of the dangers. I have to make myself remember. To remember there is a plan for me – that I did what I knew I had to do, there was a purpose and a reason and comfort that accompanied that decision. Things change so quickly.
