Dear Sisters,
You are in our thoughts and in our
prayers. It is inspiring to watch you care for each other. We love you very
much!
This message from President Uchtdorf
has been on my mind since the Women’s Broadcast and I think it is worth
remembering:
The infinite and eternal Creator of light and
life knows you! He is mindful of you.
Yes, God loves you this very day and always.
He is not waiting to love you until you have
overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. He loves you today with a full
understanding of your struggles. He is aware that you reach up to Him in
heartfelt and hopeful prayer [ . . . ] He knows of your sufferings. He knows of
your remorse for the times you have fallen short or failed. And still He loves
you.
Just as our Father in Heaven doesn’t
wait to love us, we should be careful not to put off accepting His love. In the
times of my life where I’ve felt distant from Heavenly Father, it has been
because I’ve been putting my desires before His and focusing on pleasing others
before pleasing Him. I know that God loves us all the time, even when we keep
ourselves from feeling “encircled about eternally in the arms of his love” (2
Nephi 1:15).
With
love,
The Relief Society Presidency
