“We do not control what I
call ‘the great transfer board in the sky.’ The inconveniences that are
sometimes associated with release from our labors here are necessary in order
to accelerate the work there. Heavenly Father can’t do His work there, with 10
times more people than we have on this planet, without on occasion taking some
of the very best sisters and brothers from among us. The conditions of
termination here, painful though they are, are a part of the conditions of
acceleration there. Thus we are back to faith in the timing of God, and to our
need to be able to say ‘Thy timing be done,’ even
when we do not fully understand it” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, July 2002).
