Nephi bound by his brothers
"When we are finally judged in terms of our performance in this
second estate, we will see that God, indeed, is perfect in
his justice and mercy. We will also see that when we fail here
it will not have been because we were truly tempted
above that which we were able to bear.
There was always an escape hatch had we looked for it!
We will also see that our lives have been fully and fairly measured.
In retrospect, we will even see that our most trying years
here will often have been our best years, producing large tree rings
on our soul, Gethsemanes of growth!
Mortality is moistened by much opportunity if our
roots of RESOLVE can but take it in."
Quoted from: Elder Neal A. Maxwell
("Taking Up the Cross," Page 253)
