Elder Dieter F.
Uchtdorf “You Matter to Him”
General Conference of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, October 2011.
It is sometimes hard to understand why we or our loved ones
experience trials and pain, often while others seem to have a free pass through
all the toughest parts of life. I personally believe that every single person
will at some point in their life experience great tragedy and heartbreaking
sorrow. If you are experiencing it now, my heart goes out to you. If you have experienced it in the past, take
a minute to flex the strong spiritual muscles and faith you developed to get
you through it, to enjoy the strength that now resides at your very core. You
are a survivor.
