Tonight I was on the giving end of advice and strength and courage. This just increased my testimony ever so slightly of the love our Heavenly Father has for me and everyone else. He is rooting for us, and He is always encouraging us to be better than what we think we can be.
"The thermostat on the furnace of affliction will not have been set too high for us--though clearly we may think so at the time. Our God is a refining God who has been tempering soul-steel for a very long time. He knows when the right edge has been put upon our excellence and also when there is more in us than we have yet given." -- Elder Neal A. Maxwell
This is a quote we learned in my Old Testament Institute class. Reminds me of the process of trials, and we we are on this earth. Our God IS a refining God and He will keep allowing us trials to help us become better and stronger. He loves us. Keep trying, and keep fighting. He will fight with us.
