Faith to Trust in the Unimaginable

In the final talk of the Saturday Afternoon Session of the most recent General Conference, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke of how God sometimes uses trials and hardships to bring about unimaginable blessings. This is possible because God has a greater perspective than we do. He knows how events are going to play out, and He knows what will ultimately work out best for everyone, even if it seems very bad for a lot of people here and now. Between His "all's well that ends well" attitude and His knowledge that all will, eventually, end well, God can have confidence that everything will be alright, even when that doesn't seem possible to us. Yet, if we have faith in God and in His goodness and miracles and the blessings of eternity, we can have that confidence as well. While we're experiencing trials, it can be difficult to imagine how any good could come from them, but we don't need to be able to imagine it. We just need to trust God and follow His plan for us. His plans can be unfathomable, and they often involve a certain amount of hardship, but He knows that they all work out in the end, and if we trust Him enough, so will we.
