Neil A. Maxwell is not a stranger to trials and afflictions. In a BYU Devotional in 1974, he testifies of the doctrine of becoming. He very eloquently teaches that the process of becoming more like the Savior is always through a path of trials and tests. We cannot become like Him unless we are willing to suffer and overcome. Elder Maxwell says, "...God loves us and, loving us, has placed us here to cope with challenges which he will place before us. I'm not sure we can always understand the implications of his love, because his love will call us at times to do things we may wonder about, and we may be confronted with circumstances we would rather not face. I believe with all my heart that because God loves us there are some particularized challenges he will deliver to each of us... And this will require us to accept with all our hearts-particularly your generation-the truth that there is divine design in each or our lives and that you have rendezvous to keep, individually and collectively." As part of the challenges that we are to overcome in these last days, Elder Maxwell reminds us that it is in walking through fire that we are sanctified.
