Elder Dale G. Renlund said: “The sacrament truly helps us know our Savior. It also reminds us of His innocent suffering. If life were truly fair, you and I would never be resurrected; you and I would never be able to stand clean before God. In this respect, I am grateful that life is not fair.
At the same time, I can emphatically state that because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, ultimately, in the eternal scheme of things, there will be no unfairness. “All that is unfair about life can be made right.” [Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Missionary Service (2004), 52.] Our present circumstances may not change, but through God’s compassion, kindness, and love, we will all receive more than we deserve, more than we can ever earn, and more than we can ever hope for. We are promised that “God shall wipe away all tears from [our] eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 (https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/rev/21.4?lang=eng#3)
From a talk by Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles ‘That I Might Draw All Men Unto Me’… (see: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/04/that-i-might-draw-all-men-unto-me?lang=eng )
This is the promise to all who strive, despite their mortal weaknesses, to draw closer to Christ daily through prayer, keeping commandments and more. For any starting down that road, sincerely returning to it, or have been on it for decades Elder Renlund’s comments teach of Christ’s invitation for all. kdm

I apologize; When unable to properly set up links because of some glitch that keeps returning to my wordpress 4.5, perhaps due to my google chrome format, I’m not going to stop the message over details. I apologize that you’ll have to cut and paste the url link into your address bar to see original information.
