Through sacrifice, in not always having everything turn out so well in my life, and in tolerating the imperfect state I\u2019m in, but otherwise living the commandments to the best of my ability, I trust God will reward me appropriately and mercifully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">enough pain, and suffering, in this world without adding Satan into the mix.
