“He Shall Consecrate Thine Afflictions for Thy Gain”
It is in our extremities that we become acquainted with God, which is life’s greatest blessing. The soul of the righteous is sanctified through suffering. To a lamenting Joseph Smith, then incarcerated in the Liberty prison, the Lord granted the assurance, “All these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good” (D&C 122:7).
