The other day, Craig printed up this quote in BIG letters to help us remember, why we are going through these trials. It is a quote from George Q. Cannon:
"The Saints should always remember that God sees not as man sees; that he does not willingly afflict his children and that if he requires them to endure present privation and trial, it is that they may escape greater tribulaitons which would otherwise inevitably over take them. If he deprives them of any present blessing, it is that he may bestow upon them greater and more glorious ones by-and-by."
I can't imagine what greater tribulation we have escaped (THAT OTHERWISE INEVITABLY MIGHT HAVE OVERTAKEN US) by going through this trial. Wow! I guess it helps change your perspective about what you are going through.
