We Lived With God

Science and Religion are often seen as forces that don't agree. Listen to this scientist and his experiences with religion and science. 
Every time I go outside or think about nature all I end up thinking about is how great our Heavenly Father's creations are. Everything is so beautiful and works so ornately together, that only a Supreme Creator could have done this. In the Book of Mormon a prophet named Alma says this.. "...Yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." (Alma 30:44

Understanding that we didn't just evolve or happen to develop into humans, but that we were created by a loving Father in Heaven fills me with me love and helps me realize how important we all really are. That's why our Heavenly Father loves and cares about us; because we aren't just people, we are all His children.

You Are A Child of God

Each one of us is a beloved spirit son or daughter of our Heavenly Father. This truth burns deep in our souls and we feel of its truth every day of our lives. We see His love manifest for each of us through the blessings that he bestows upon us each day. Watch and see how these people know they are children of God.
 
Just as we have earthly parents who love and care for us. We have Heavenly parents who do the same. Just as God knew Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 1:5) He knows each and every one of us and prepared opportunities for each of us during our time on earth. He sent us here to the earth to learn, grow, and progress and wants more than anything for us to return to live with Him again. Throughout this journey on earth He is always watching and always listening. I testify that He is there, and that He loves each one of us deeper than we can comprehend. Trust in Him and talk to Him as the loving parent that He is, and when times get hard always remember that you are a child of God
