I had an experience this week that has reminded me of God's
love for his children. The morning and
afternoon had been semi-successful with contacting. Walking back to the car I had the thought to
go knock on a door in a neighboring apartment complex. I knew who had given me that thought, the
Holy Ghost.
I knocked on the designated door to find a family who had
moved from a nearby town to Freso three years ago. They were members of the church who had been
very active where they had been living, but once they moved to Fresno they did
not know how to recontact the church.
God knew how to recontact them.
We got them the address and time of the local congregation and passed
their information to their bishop so that the ward could begin outreaching to
them.
The Spirit taught me powerfully that God new this family and
their struggles. He never lost track of
them. He loves them. He sent His son to die for them. They are an essential part of God's family.
The words of a primary song that my little sister used to
sing have been on my mind.
Our Father has a family. It’s me!
It’s you, all others too: we are His children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth,To live and
learn here in fam’lies.
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to
be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.
I know that our Heavenly Father lives. He knows His children. He knows you.
He loves you.
