Christ's Promise: Our Losses Made Up

I'm extra tired tonight- if that's possible. Some unexpected things had come on and pushed me over my threshold.  I was almost overcome and so, when I stopped at dinner to say a blessing on my food, found plea's to the Lord tumbling out of my mouth.  I told Him how I was feeling, the worries I had and then asked Him to give me the strength to get through them all.  I ended my prayer and sat down to eat.

I was reading the paper at dinner, the Mormon Times to be exact (I love it!), and in an article came a small, sweet answer of comfort.  It was simply a quote from the Prophet Joseph Smith, and it was this:

"All your losses will be made up to you in the Resurrection, provided that you continue faithful."

The first part was all that I read before I started to cry (yes, cry, again).  "All your losses will be made up to you in the Resurrection." This message is a doctrine of the gospel, but hearing said it in different words helps you see it in different ways when you really need it.

I'm not going to write anymore, just leave this for you.  What does this mean to you?  Think about it, but keep the answers in your heart.   What losses have you had in life?  What have you had that has been adverse?  What good things that you wanted have you not had?  It doesn't matter what they are, Christ promises you that if you are faithful, they will be made up to you in the Resurrection. What an amazing, wonderful gift to look forward to!  I know I do.
