This quote from Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has lingered in my mind ever since hearing it during LDS Conference this month. He said, "We Are Not Made for Endings....In light of what we know about our eternal destiny, is it any wonder that whenever we face the bitter endings of life, they seem unacceptable to us? There seems to be something inside of us that resists endings.
"Why is this? Because we are made of the stuff of eternity. We are eternal beings, children of the Almighty God, whose name is Endless and who promises eternal blessings without number. Endings are not our destiny.The more we learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ, the more we realize that endings here in mortality are not endings at all. They are merely interruptions—temporary pauses that one day will seem small compared to the eternal joy awaiting the faithful. How grateful I am to my Heavenly Father that in His plan there are no true endings, only everlasting beginnings."
I know Elder Uchtdorf is a modern day prophet, called of God to speak for Him, as are the other 11 prophets of the LDS Church. And if a people ever needed to know what God was trying to tell them, it certainly is our society today!
