I was reading in the Ensign the other day when I came over the sweetest article that hit home. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now, at this time in my life. The article is talking about Jeremiah 29: 12-14. Most specifically the first line of chapter 14 when the Lord promises to the Jews that if they will "Search for [him] with all of [their] heart." he will be found of them. The article went on to describe how this young dad used to play Hide and seek with his young children. He wanted his kids to search for him, to seek after him. But he wanted them to find him easily, he wanted them to know that he was there, that when they went looking they would for sure know where he was. He said that he would sometimes hide in the same place, or leave a foot sticking out so they could obviously tell where he was hiding.
He likened this to us and our Lord. He wants us to come to him, to find him, to seek after him. We learn that as we look we will find him easily. He will be found of us. He is there for us to help us through our every trial and struggle. He loves us so much! I am so grateful that I have this knowledge!
There is a quote by President Hinckley that I love, I have it right by my mirror so I can read it everyday before I start my day it says
" It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. THE LORD WILL NOT FORSAKE US...If we will put our trust in him, if we will pray to him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, he will hear our prayers."
I love that quote and I know it is true. We are all Daughters and Sons of loving heavenly parents. Their love for us is infinite!
Love you all,
Hell Belle
