"Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable joy. We are important to God not because of our resume but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked. What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."
- President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Oct. 2009
"Cultivate a desire to know that God lives. This desire leads us to ponder on the things of heaven--to let the evidence of God all around us touch our hearts. With softened hearts we are prepared to heed the Savior's call to "search the scriptures" and to humbly learn from them."
- Elder Robert D. Hales, Oct. 2009
Christ: The Real Gift of Christmas
A profound thought I had today walking to the devotional: If we truly loved God with all of our hearts, there would be no room left for our hearts to ever hurt. :) <3
