Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 54:10
"And again, be patient in tribulation until I come; and, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, and they who have sought me early shall find rest to their souls. Even so. Amen."

Patience is a divine attribute, and one of the hardest to achieve. For it is only through trials that we gain patience. Recently, I have been reflecting on the parable of the laborers in the vineyard found in Matthew 20. While I read this verse the thought of those that "sought me early" were like the laborers that were hired first. Now in the parable those that worked all day were upset that those hired in the last hour received the same wages. I think as this verse implies the benefit those that were hired early had was rest to their souls. They knew they were employed and receiving wages. Something those hired last did not enjoy throughout the long day. The Lord treated them all the same in the end, but I think I would prefer to have the rest to my soul for as long as possible.
