cause and effect

Do you have an inquiring mind? Do you investigate to find the underlying mechanisms that connect cause and effect? My word teaches you that your light afflictions, which are but for a moment, work for you an exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Do you understand how this works? Do not be discouraged if you can’t figure out the method by which this works, nor frustrated if you ask me about it and I don’t explain it. Would it be easier to go through the trials and difficulties of life if you saw how they were connected to some beneficial purpose? For now you can take comfort in knowing you have this on my good authority.
