Trails and tribulations... We all go through them, we all get past them. But was it worth the heart ache if nothing was learned from it? I believe trials are placed in our lives not as punishment but as a growing experience. Of course, several people believe that when trial is places among them it is the Lord's way of punishing them but really it is our Heavenly Father letting us know that "hey you are ready to grow a bit". Heavenly Father would never put us through something He knew we couldn't get through and the best part is, He is by our side 100% of the way. Heavenly Father places trials in tribulation in our lives so that we can turn to Him for help which allows our faith and testimony to mature by miles. A perfect example of trial and tribulation is Joseph Smith. He had to stand alone when trying to decide which church was true, he was ridiculed and scorned when he had established the latter-day gospel, yet he held fast and kept on, he let his trials enhance him not tear him down. What an extraordinary example he is. I am so grateful for his courage and strength. I challenge us all to let Christ into our lives in the midst of trial and tribulation and learn something from them.
