You Have a Loving Heavenly Father.

Have you ever thought you were alone? That no one loves you? In everything you do, nothing ever works out? Doesn't it sound good to know that you have a Heavenly Father who loves you more than you can ever imagine? He sees you as you may become. If you are doing good things and making right choices, you can feel that love every day in your life. 

Our prophet on the Earth today, Thomas S Monson once stated, "Heavenly Father wants you to check in with Him through sincere and fervent prayer. Remember, you are never alone. Never forget that you are loved. Never doubt that someone surely cares for you." Whenever you feel down or need to be lifted up, pray. Prayer is the phone number to your Heavenly Father. You have him on speed-dial and most people in this world don't even know it! 

Another leader in the Church declared, "You will not feel loneliness, sorrow, pain, or discouragement forever. We have the faithful promise of God that He will never forget not forsake those that incline their hearts to Him. Have hope and faith in the promise. Learn to love your Heavenly Father and become His disciple in word and deed." (Dieter F. Uchtdorf). If we are serving Him and doing so with humility we will feel His approval from on High that we are doing the right thing. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ bless those who are disciples in their everyday lives. 

In the book of Jeremiah 1:5, Heavenly Father is telling Jeremiah his purpose. I love the first part of this verse: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee." I think this shows that if He knew Jeremiah, He knows all of us. Think about it this way. Think of your best friend, you know him/her a lot right? You've seen them through their hardships, you've laughed together, you've argued, but after everything you two have gone through, you both love each other (hopefully). Same goes with our Heavenly Father. He knows us and wants the best for us. He loves us so much that He gave His Only Begotten Son for all of us so we can live with our families and our loved ones forever!! I can't think of a greater blessing.

I'd like to end with a quick quote and then a video. This great quote is by Henry B. Eyring. "We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in The Lord's service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word." 

I know that we all have a loving Heavenly Father. He is always watching and doing what is best for us. He knows our trials and gives us them because we can overcome them. I know that my Redeemer lives and I hope to become a great Father someday. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
