BECOMING a better YOU

Have you ever been having a terrible time, and you find yourself thinking..."why does it have to be like this", "why is God putting me though this"? I usually find myself doing this when I am going through trials. This often causes one to think or question what are purpose in life is.


Me feeling lousy and thinking "why is
God putting me through this".



One of the essential reasons we are even here together on this earth is so that we can all have the opportunity to learn and to grow. The trials that we endure are to build us stronger. They help us as we BECOME the children of God that He wants us to be. In the Book of Mormon we read in Mosiah chapter 23 verse 21 "Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith." During this time in the Book of Mormon the people of Alma are living in peace, but the Lord wanted the people of Alma to learn, grow, and come closer to Him. He does this by testing there faith.

 In the Epistle of James we read "that the tying of our faith worketh patience." James 1:3. Through the trying of our faith we BECOME  better son's or daughter's of our Father.



Me as I BECOME a better
 deciple of Christ



Life is all about BECOMING, so that we can prepare ourselves to meet God. We BECOME stronger, we BECOME humble, we BECOME Christlike. I testify that we can obtain the Glory that our Father has prepared for us.  We obtain it by striving to make our weakness's BECOME strong. It is my prayer that the next time we think "why is God putting me through this" or "why does it have to be like this" we can recognize that what we should be thinking is "what can I learn from this" or "what is God trying to help me to BECOME".
