I enjoy Sunday, as it gives time of concentrated focus on the religious part of my life, which is the most important part to me. Many months ago, a young man returned home from his service as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Costa Rica. His experience was rich with the love he shared with the people of his assigned 'field' of labor. One comment that he made, has stuck with me. He said that prior to his mission, he treated his innermost spiritual feelings, and actions, as a part of his life. Upon his return, after two years of full-time missionary service, he came to realize, and understand, that it was his life.
Today, I spoke to a congregation of Hispanic members of the LDS church. It was a meaningful experience for me. I felt their love for me as I shared with them my personal feelings of knowledge I have gained. This feels like a great opportunity to share a couple of those same truths.
Our Heavenly Father lives! He loves us and in completely aware of all that we experience today, and every other day that will follow. His Son, Jesus Christ, came to this earth because of the love He has for you and I. His purpose, was a divine mission to fully understand and personally take upon Himself, all of the mistakes that the human family would and is currently making. He knew all that we would do, and still fulfilled His mission. Without Him, we are nothing. It is only through Him that we may one day return back into the presence of our Father that we care about so deeply.
We are our Father's children and He loves us more than we can comprehend here in this mortal life.
These truths will sustain us through the trials we will face. They are truth! I am grateful for light and knowledge on this day of gladness.
