We sometimes have our own idea of how things are suppose to happen, and when it doesn't happen the way we want, we become frustrated with God and his timing. I know I have been so frustrated at Heavenly Father, and then it makes me feel bad because I should have more faith in his timing. However, its hard to have faith in things we don't understand fully. But I know that through my experiences I have seen how Heavenly Father truly loves me. I have seen it through his tender mercies to me. Those experiences have become dear to my heart and very sacred to me because it has shown me that he cares and he wants to aide me in all my endeavors. I want to share a post from facebook I posted right before I left on my mission. It says:
"It just doesn't seem fair. When you make the best choices for yourself.. the devil always fights back. He doesn't give up at giving you difficulty, and almost near impossible feats to push through. He pushes you. He could rip your heart out if he wanted to.But God prevails with the everlasting gospel. I now know why I chose to serve a mission. To get every last person I can to go through the temple. And go through it worthily."
That statement is my personal mission statement. Its there to help remind me about my purpose as a missionary, and my purpose as a daughter of God. Its also why he gives us simple moments, or simple reminders of our purpose on this earth, and that's what I call God's tender mercies. Those things are there to help aide us when you cant feel strong, or are feeling discouraged. Heavenly Father is here. He wont leave. NO MATTER HOW FRUSTRATED YOU ARE! He wont leave because he loves you dearly. Period. When you come to realize this, you forget your problems, and come unto his son Jesus Christ! That's what I am doing as a missionary. Helping others realize this powerful statement:)
