Brian K. Taylor tells a story of a young girl who caused an accident, where the other driver died, and her journey to discover her true identity. In an uphill battle she rediscovers that she really is a daughter of her Heavenly Father and that He loves her.
As we follow the examples of the Savior and the Prophet Joseph in earnestly seeking God, we will come to understand in a very real way, as Jen did, that our Father knows us by name, that we are His children.
To mothers, especially young mothers, who often feel overwhelmed and underwater while striving to raise “a sin-resistant generation,” never underestimate your central role in God’s plan. In stressful moments–perhaps when you are chasing little ones and a charred smell from the kitchen informs you that your lovingly prepared dinner is now a burnt offering–know that God sanctifies your most difficult days
When you feel hurt, lost, scared, upset, sad, hungry, or hopelessly abandoned in life’s extremities–open the Book of Mormon, and you will come to know that “[God] will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is not His character [to do so].”
Coming to know our Father changes everything, especially our hearts, as His gentle Spirit confirms our true identity and great worth in His sight.
