The Comfort of a Blessing Denied

I came across this quote in the February Ensign by Elder George Q. Cannon:

"The Saints should always remember that God sees not as man sees; that he does not willingly afflict his children, and that if he requires them to endure present privation and trial, it is that they may escape greater tribulations which would otherwise inevitably overtake them. If He deprives them of any present blessing, it is that he may bestow upon them greater and more glorious ones by-and-by."

Remember that when you may be feeling deprived now of a blessing or ease, it's that Heavenly Father has something much better for you in store. What comfort that brings to me today. I hope it does the same for you.
