Having had the recent opportunity of taking care of one of my niece’s I have a greater understanding and love that our Heavenly Father has for each of us and especially when we do not make righteous choices. This sweet innocent little girl has parents who have made some of their own choices and now choose to live a different lifestyle then what they were raised with. My little moments with her are like molecules in the eternities as I try and help her find her moral compass in this life. With these small moments that I have with her I am trying to help navigate her to the Savior where she can turn for peace and comfort. I am so grateful of the Spiritual gifts the Savior has given us to help us navigate towards our eternal goals. What a comfort it is to know that there is a plan providing us with a Savior, Jesus Christ. His sacrifice makes it possible for everyone who complies with His gospel teachings to be forgiven through repentance. What a comfort it is to know that help is available for us to succeed in our endeavors to return to live with our Heavenly Father. May we remember we are not alone and Heavenly Father has given us the necessary gifts as we navigate through this life. Heavenly Father is mindful of each one of us, He listens to and answer our prayers. As we develop our faith to believe in the words of prophets, we will strengthen our testimony of the plan of happiness and the central role of Jesus Christ in it. When we make good choices, we will not be lost, and we will reach our eternal home.
With Love,
Anessa
