Last night for my scripture study I was reading in 2 Nephi 2. I got to verse 11 where is talks about having opposition. It says that if did not have opposition we would not know holiness, misery, good or bad. It got me thinking how it would be to not have any of these things. We would not have joy, or misery. We need opposition in order for us to know and and experience pure joy. Which lead me to think of how important opposition is in our lives. I can honestly say that during times of trials or just hard times, I don't usually think, 'I am so grateful that we have oppostion in our lives right now.' I should be thinking this though. Because with these experiences comes experiences of true joy and happiness. This got me thinking about the comment that was made in Relief Society that I mentioned about asking the question, 'why me?' I will restate it; "You can't ask the question 'why me' in time of great trouble unless you ask it in times of great blessings." This is so true! It is important that we endure to the end. Go through these hard times of opposition, endure them so we can find joy and receive the greatest gift, eternal life! Just as it says in one of my favorite scriputes 2 Nephi 31: 20!
