Never Alone
I had written a thank you email to Bishop Lindstrom and this is part of what I got back in return:
"I'm so glad you had a good experience and hope it strengthened your testimony of how much Heavenly Father loves His children."
I was pondering that and was given this message:
"Recall when you thought that you were alone? That you thought you wouldn't have family in eternity? You are incorrect. You do have family that will be there. 22 of the family members you personally turned in. 11 you were proxy for. You need not be concerned with this. You are and never will be alone"
I was really comforted by that. I was thinking about that Sunday, November 28th when the sad, negative stuff was coursing through me. Reaffirmed that it is wrong.
Tuesday really did strengthen my testimony. I know that our Heavenly Father loves me and loves all of us. If he didn't, he wouldn't have done/do everything he does. He wouldn't have sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to Earth. To Die for our sins so we may be saved. He wouldn't make it possible for us to live eternally with Him and our families. He wouldn't have given us mortal bodies to live and learn. He wouldn't have created Adam and Eve. He wouldn't have come with Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith to establish the One True Church on Earth. We wouldn't pray to him every morning and night. NONE of this would have EVER happened if our Heavenly Father didn't love us. We are so lucky, so blessed. To think there are still so many who don't realize it or don't believe. It saddens me. But, it makes me even more want to become a full-time missionary so I can help teach others about the Church and show much He loves us. I believe that if more people knew that they would join the Church. If they realize how much their lives can be blessed, how much their lives can change. If they hear how much I've changed in the short time I've been with the Church. If they can realize how much our Heavenly Father truely loves each of us, they will join.
I know and I would never go back to before the Church
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen
