About this title

Synopsis

Sometimes, when life gets particularly painful, it's hard to believe that God cares about what's happening to us. in those trying times, we often jump to wrong conclusions: "Maybe I'm not very valuable to Him, " or "He must think I need this mess," or "I must have done something (here or in the premortal life) to disqualify myself from His love." Counselor and author Kim Nelson suggests that we need a clear understanding of four things to make sense out of the potentially painful puzzle of mortality: (1) the role we played in the process of choosing to come to earth, (2) the nature of God's parental affection for us, (3) the level of the adversary's commitment to keep us from these truths, and (4) what we can do to get the most out of our earthly test. His insightful stories and analogies shed new light on truths that will help us find happiness in God's plan for us.
