I don't want to get too personal on the world wide web, but I set some spiritual goals this year to help me improve my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I can't describe the difference these past couple of weeks have made in my life. I've made it a point to pray before I read my scriptures, and ask what the Lord would have me know. Everyday I'm amazed, at how the pages fall to exactly the right chapter I need to read, and not only does it give me comfort, but also courage to go forward knowing I'm not walking forward aimlessly. I've been overwhelmed with receiving the knowledge that I'm not just a numbered child. He knows not only my name, but my needs, my heart's desire, and all my struggles, and most of all is there, cheering me on every step of the way. How could anyone deny that God truly does live?
How grateful I am for parents who raised me in the way that I should go. They showed me it was the Lord who I should model my life after. To seek a relationship with him, and I would be successful in all I do. It is through loving the Lord that I've learned to love myself. I don't think anyone can truly love the Lord and not love themselves, because if we truly have a relationship with the Lord and understand him in the slightest, he will overwhelmingly testify to us personally of his love for us. I know God lives, and I know that he has placed special people in our paths to help guide us to him. I'm grateful for the peace and love that I feel from him in learning about him through the scriptures and prayer. For truly his word is a lamp unto my feet.
