Life Is Like A Ribbon

 If you think about it, this life is much like a ribbon. It has a starting point and an end point. We don't know where the end point is until the scissors cut the ribbon and our life falls short and ends. Mostly resulting in death of some form or another. During this life we can experience many things along that ribbon line. Some things are good for us; other things are bad for us. Either way we experience things that can make us a better person or not.

As we journey through the ribbon of life, we learn. We learn of marvelous things that can occur in this life. These experiences help us grow to become a better person. I prefer to look on the goodness that life brings at times. Sure, there are times where I don't think it brings anything good to me. But those times are far and few between. Life is but a huge experience that we look forward to. It would be nice if everyone thought life was wonderful. But not everyone has the opportunity to live a happy life. Sometimes life is downright cruel to people. There's no escaping it. You take the good with the bad and see what happens mostly.

It would be nice to be able to happily look upon life as though it were a wonderful experience. Something to learn from and grow. Something that will make us happy in the long run. Sure, we might slip and fall here and there, but it might be worth it in the end.

This life is but a steppingstone in the grand scheme of things. The plan is much bigger than this life alone. That ribbon I spoke about. It's very tiny compared to the rest of eternity. There's not much else to do with this life but wait and hope that it will get better. It has to right? I mean that's what I would want to see happen. But there's no way of telling if it will get better or not. Life doesn't work that way. It simply exists and we are here along for the ride.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
