"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 an hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude." Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Come What May and Love It," Ensign, November 2008
The Principle of Compensation is a true principle. I always had hope and testimony that my blessings were being stored for me to be redeemed at a time that the Lord saw fit for me to have. I just needed to continue to be patient and faithful. The Lord loves us so much, that he wants to give us everything he has and knows the end from the beginning. It took twenty-five years for those prayers to be answered. I am so thankful that he saw fit to test me, try me and give me the growth I needed to be worthy of my blessings at the right time in my life to have a wonderful husband, and companion.
It was worth the wait knowing what it was that was waiting for me at the end of the lighted tunnel. It was my Captain Moroni, for sure. I set my ideals and standards high that the Lord knew how to find the right person for me and brought him to me. My cup runneth over with joy and gratitude. It has been eight months since we were married for time and eternity. We are so blessed to have each other.
