 Hi everyone, my name is Marissa and I'm here to share with you a scripture that has answered my question from the book of Mormon. So I have a lot of questions because I'm a human, but I remember in particular having a question of why something bad was happening to me. I'm not going to get into it, but I mean just put yourself in the shoes of yourself or whoever and think about how hard time that you've had and you wonder why is this happening to me? I mean we see this all the time on the news, we see people going through hard times, we see bad things happening to good people, right? So why does that happen? Why do bad things happen to good people? And I stumbled upon the scripture in 1st Nephi chapter 11 verse 17 and this taught me that God does everything out of love. So this verse says, this is Nephi and he's talking to his brothers and he says, I know that he loved his children, nevertheless I do not know the meaning of all things. And that doesn't give an answer to my question why do bad things happen to good people, but it gives me an answer that even though bad things happen doesn't mean that God doesn't care about me. I think about, I'm not a mother, I don't have children, but I think about my mom and I think about how she doesn't want anything bad to happen to me, but when hard times come she's there for me 100% and she loves me and helps me get through things. And I don't think God does anything to punish us, but other people's agency and other people's choices happen and they affect the way that we live our lives and all that God can do is to love us still and help support us the best that he can. So I don't know the answer to everything and I don't have an answer to every question. There'll be a lot that I get answered in the next life, but I know that no matter what happens God's there and that he doesn't want me to suffer and he doesn't want me to go through things alone. He wants my supreme happiness and he wants me to be joyful and to be faithful and if anything I've learned from the scriptures it's that God wants us to be happy.
