"The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh—
But that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world;"
Doctrine and Covenants 1:19-20
This is interesting because it is talking about breaking things, but kind of breaking them to build them better. Here, perhaps, breaking down the power structures of the world so that people can see where the true power is, which is with God, or just breaking us so that he can heal us of some of the faulty growing we've done in the wrong direction or something?
Today, as we are pondering the pain that seems to be caused by heaven, let's recognize that a lot of it is just correcting some of our mistakes, and none of it is sadistic, but rather compassionate, working to hold us together sometimes when we are falling apart, or turn us down a better road when the one we were travelling was leading us astray.
