Elder Maxwell underscores this irony: “Consecration is the only surrender which is also a victory. It brings release from the raucous, overpopulated cell block of selfishness and emancipation from the dark prison of pride. Pride is something that damages and destroys that it hurts and damages love. It helped me a lot to learn what James E. Faust stated: “If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being.
We need to the Lord in our lives because He helps us to forgive, He softens the feelings of anger and disappointment through pray and meditate Why things happen? What is the purpose? I do not know but through challenges we can strengthen faith that everything will be better, that if something does not work out, it is because we did something wrong and there is something to learn, but we need to have patience and hope.
