“You may struggle to see God as a loving Father. You may
look heavenward and see not the face of love and mercy but a thicket of rules
through which you must wend your way. Perhaps you believe God rules in His
heavens, speaks through His prophets, and loves your sister, but you secretly
wonder whether He loves you. Perhaps you have felt the iron rod in your hand
but not yet felt your Savior’s love to which it leads. I thought my life was
about following rules and measuring up to abstract standards. I knew God loved
you perfectly but didn’t feel it myself. I’m afraid I thought more about
getting into heaven than being with my Heavenly Father. If you, like me, can
sometimes only lip-synch but not ‘sing the song of redeeming love,’ what can we
do? The answer, as President Russell M. Nelson reminds us, is always Jesus. And
that is very good news.” – Elder Robert M. Daines
