President Boyd K. Packer (The Play and the Plan, 2)
"Remember this! The line 'And they all lived happily ever after' is never written into the second act. That line belongs in the third act, when the mysteries are solved and everything is put right. . . .
"Until you have a broad perspective of the eternal nature of this great drama, you won't make much sense out of the inequities in life. Some are born with so little and others with so much. Some are born in poverty, with handicaps, with pain, with suffering. Some experience premature death, even innocent children. There are the brutal unforgiving forces of nature and the brutality of man to man. We have seen a lot of that recently.
"Do not suppose that God willfully causes that which, for his own purposes, he permits. When you know the plan and purpose of it all, even these things will manifest a loving Father in Heaven." (The Play and the Plan, 2)
Where is Happily Ever After?
