First, I must say that this has been an awesome weekend. Valentine's day was perfect, I did go out with that special someone and I didn't have school on Monday. Let me just say it was hard to go to school this morning.
This past week, we have been discussing Joseph Smith's experience in Liberty Jail. He was incarcerated for about five months. He was being held on faulty charges. It was a very trying time for him, and for all the members of the early church. There is one passage which I would like to quote.
"If the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he? Therefore, hold on they way,, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannont pass... fear not what man can do for God shall be with you forever and ever." (Doctrine and Covenants 122:7-9)
God was comforting Joseph in a time when Joseph felt nothing was going right. We too must have faith and trust in God. Only then will we be able to make it though, because we are linked with God by the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
