What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial?
Richard G. Scott

Your agency, the right to make choices, is not given so that you can get what you want. This divine gift is provided so that you will choose what your Father in Heaven wants for you. That way He can lead you to become all that He intends you to be.
