"The
Savior has suffered not just for our iniquities but also for the inequality,
the unfairness, the pain,
the anguish, and the emotional distresses that so
frequently beset us. There is no physical pain, no anguish of soul, no
suffering of spirit, no infirmity or weakness that you or I ever experience
during our mortal journey that the Savior did not experience first. You and I
in a moment of weakness may cry out, 'No one understands. No one knows.' No
human being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and
understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did. And because
He paid the ultimate price and bore that burden, He has perfect empathy and can
extend to us His arm of mercy in so many phases of our life. He can reach out,
touch, succor—literally run to us—and strengthen us to be more than we could
ever be and help us to do that which we could never do through relying upon
only our own power." ~David A. Bednar
I love bearing my testimony of the Savior, but there are times when my words just won't do, and His other anointed servants - His Prophets and Apostles - say it far better than I ever could.
