Hebrews 11:40 "God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."
This scripture has not always made sense to me in my mind but knowing that Joseph Smith was inspired and the Lords instrument in bring us Gods word through the Lords Spirit his translation of this verse has helped me and has given me greater wisdom and comfort.
JST Heb. 11:40 "God having provided some better things for them through their sufferings, for without sufferings they could not be made perfect."
I love this verse, it testifies and helps us to see that God gives us trials or allows trials to come into our life so by them and through them we can become perfect. President Faust said in a General Conference address that "every experience and trial you pass through is necessary for your salvation." What we go through is not in vain, there is a purpose and building blocks that lay within each of them. As we turn to God we will be blessed to see these trials become strengths to us and we will be able to endure joyfully.
