God's Love

"And I said unto him: I know that He loveth His children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things."  -1 Nephi 11:17

"Responding to true love is part of our very being. We innately desire to reconnect here with the love we felt there. Only as we feel God’s love and fill our hearts with His love can we be truly happy."  -Elder John H. Groberg

This is one of my most favorite scriptures. There are so many hard and confusing things in life and so many things in the gospel that we may not fully understand yet. However, these things do not have to stop us from growing and thriving in the gospel. We don't need to know all things. All we need to know is that God knows and loves us. That love will motivate and change us more effectively, quickly and with greater lasting effect than anything else in the world. When we truly begin to understand how dearly God loves us, change becomes natural and instinctive--we want to change for Him. His love will get us through anything. It is enough to sustain us. It is enough to get us through. It will never change, never falter, never fail. We should seek to not just remember, but to feel it every single day. It is real. I know it is.
