THE PRINCIPLE OF COMPENSATION

My friend Mary shared this with me a couple years ago. It has become one of my favorite things to read. It was said by a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Joseph B. Wirthlin, at General Conference in October 2008.

The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.

Because Heavenly Father is merciful, a principle of compensation prevails.
