Come Back

Elder Holland said: “His concern is for the faith at which you finally arrivenot the hour of the day in which you got there.” Eternity is a long time, so if it takes a while to get it right, the effort will have been worth it. “If you are struggling under the weight of wandering souls in your family, I invite you to ponder this simple question: “Do you think our heavenly parents wander through the heavens in morose agony over their straying children?”

If your answer was like mine, that I didn’t think so, then the follow-up question is “Why not?” I think that answer lies in PERSPECTIVE. Because our vision is limited, when a soul wanders, we fret and ache and sometimes we despair. God dwells in eternity and sees the end from the beginning.
