I am a Recreational Therapist and through my study in that field I have had my eyes open to some of the realities of life. That, too, has been trying for me.
I was able to work at a girl's group home for the last eight months. A conclusion of trying events that all connect back to the hard lives some of our brothers and sisters are asked to live and what we do in the meantime to help them?
With each event in my life I feel like I have found solace, some peace for their future. Peace for mine. But with each new set of people I come to love I fall into the same sadness, "Why must they suffer so? What can I do to relieve them of such suffering and secure their future? How can I help?"
Personal scripture study this morning allowed me a glimpse into the reality of the Lord's plans for all of His children. In Enos, the Atonement is testified in full, it covers us and makes us whole and the Lord will reach His children who are reaching for Him. Enos 1:17, "And I, Enos, knew it would be according to the covenant which he had made; wherefore my soul did rest." He has promised us to watch over us! He is watching over those who suffer and He will fulfill them if they so choose.
In the song, "Savior, Redeemer of my soul" it states,
"Savior, Redeemer of my soul.
Whose mighty hand hath made me whole.
Whose wonderous power hath raised me up,
and filled with sweet
My bitter cup."
