Today in Institute it was great! We were talking about Daniel chapter 3, and how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego told King Nebuchadnezzar that they will believe on their God through all the "but if not's".
This quote is by Elder Dennis E. Simmons, in the May Ensign 2004
We must have the same faith as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Our God will deliver us from ridicule and persecution, but if not... Our God will deliver us from sickness and disease, but if not... He will deliver us from loneliness, depression, or fear, but if not... Our God will deliver us from threats, accusations and insecurity, but if not... He will deliver us from death or impairment of loved ones, but if not... We will trust in the Lord.
Our God will see that we receive justice and fairness, but if not... He will make sure that we are loved and recognized, but if not... We will receive a perfect companion and righteous and obedient children, but if not... We will have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that if we do all we can do, we will in His time and in His way, be delivered and receive all that He has
As I sat in my Institute class, I was sobbing. Everything I've been going through, everything I have been dealing with; it just brought me comfort and strength to keep going. I am going to do everything humanly possible to make sure I beat this and have the faith and courage. I will "be delivered and receive all that He has."
