Hard or Soft?

Alma 62:41

"But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility."

All these people went through the same war. The same lengthy period of bloodshed. Some chose to be angry about the hardships and hardened themselves against God. Others humbled themselves because of the tough times and leaned on God for help and strength. Bad things happen. How we deal with them determines who we are. Will we become hard or soft? Angry or humble? Sad of glad? The choice is ours each day.
