Why does God ask us to do hard
things? I’m sure at times we have all asked this question. I know for me I feel
like at times I know what is best for me. Sometimes the unknown holds me back.
Other times I don’t see the reasons why or the blessings that will come from
following Heavenly Father’s counsel. But I have come to know through personal
experience that Heavenly Father only wants to draw us closer to Him. And that
is why He asks us to do hard things. Matthew 13:45-46 reads:
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
“Who, when he had found one pearl
of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.”
When we give our lives to God, He
can make so much more out of it than we can. He will work miracles in our
lives. He will bless us beyond what we ever imagined possible. Heavenly Father
will ask each of us to do hard things from time to time. But we can always find
comfort knowing He is doing even harder things for each of us personally. I
know in my life the times I have taken a great leap of faith have been the
hardest, most rewarding times of my life. And I know with my whole heart that
every leap taken is one closer to returning to live with Him forever.
