His love.

Just a few days ago I made a little assessment of my wellbeing, or rather, my spiritual wellbeing, and I realized how much I've been really slacking lately. So, I made a goal to become closer with my Heavenly Father by reading my scriptures daily, and by actually get onto my knees every morning and every night to pray; to have a real conversation, rather than a quick prayer laying on my back before drifting off to sleep.

Though it's only been a few days, I have noticed such an extreme difference. I already feel so much closer to my Heavenly Father, and so much more aware of His love for me. When I feel especially grateful, I fall onto my knees and thank Him right away. When I need to spill my guts and need someone to listen, I turn to Him. When I feel alone and hopeless, I turn to Him because I know that He is there and that He loves and cares for my tremendously. He is patient with me when others are not, and that is such a comfort.

I am so grateful for this, and so grateful for the gospel. It's been just about the only thing in my life that has remained constant throughout the years. I honestly don't know what I would do without it, and that's the truth.
