Listened to Elder Holland’s BYU Speech - Lessons from Liberty Jail. So good. And so relevant for now.
"
Spiritual
experience, revelatory experience, sacred experience can come to every
one of us in all the many and varied stages and circumstances of our
lives if we want it, if we hold on and pray on, and if we keep our faith
strong through our difficulties."
"You can have sacred, revelatory, profoundly instructive experience with the Lord in the most miserable experiences of your life—in
the worst settings, while enduring the most painful injustices, when
facing the most insurmountable odds and opposition you have ever faced."
"Every experience can become a redemptive experience
if we remain bonded to our Father in Heaven through that difficulty.
These difficult lessons teach us that man’s extremity is God’s
opportunity, and if we will be humble and faithful, if we will be
believing and not curse God for our problems, He can turn the unfair and
inhumane and debilitating prisons of our lives into temples—or at least
into a circumstance that can bring comfort and revelation, divine
companionship and peace."
