Opposition in All Things – By Elder Dallin H. Oaks
We are all acquainted with other kinds of mortal opposition not caused by our personal sins, including illness, disability, and death. President Thomas S. Monson explained:
“Some of you may at times have cried out in your suffering, wondering why our Heavenly Father would allow you to go through whatever trials you are facing. …
“Our mortal life, however, was never meant to be easy or consistently pleasant. Our Heavenly Father … knows that we learn and grow and become refined through hard challenges, heartbreaking sorrows, and difficult choices. Each one of us experiences dark days when our loved ones pass away, painful times when our health is lost, feelings of being forsaken when those we love seem to have abandoned us. These and other trials present us with the real test of our ability to endure.” 4
/4 Thomas S. Monson, “Joy in the Journey” (address given at the BYU Women’s Conference, May 2, 2008), womensconference.ce.byu.edu. A short essay on sportsmanship and democracy by John S. Tanner, now president of BYU–Hawaii, includes this insight on a subject with which we are all familiar: “Learning how to lose gracefully is not only a civil duty; it is a religious imperative. God designed mortality to ensure ‘opposition in all things’ (2 Nephi 2:11). Setbacks and defeats are part of his plan for our perfection. … Defeat plays an integral role in our ‘quest for perfection’” (Notes from an Amateur: A Disciple’s Life in the Academy [2011], 57).
