President Monson’s Four T’s

Läste i Meridian magazine idag om "fler bokstäver":

We’ve all heard about President Hinckley’s six B’s, but many of us haven’t heard of President Monson’s four T’s. What are they? Tears, trials, trust and testimony. The four T’s come from a talk President Monson gave in 1997, but the message he gave is still meaningful today. In his talk Monson says, "Faith forged in the furnace of trials and tears is marked by trust and testimony. Only God can count the sacrifice; only God can measure the sorrow; only God can know the hearts of those who serve Him—then and now."

Jag gillade det budskapet. Visserligen använder president Monson ofta ordet tårar i sian tal, men han kanske är en aktuell president för att mågna av kyrkan medlemmar upplever tårar i dessa svåra tider. Han kanske själv vet något om det, eftersom han tycker om att tänka på The Balm of Gilead. Endast den som lider svårt önskar sig lindring så akut.
