My Savior is Anxiously Waiting with Open Arms

As we have faced this 2020 adventure, I have been amazed and humbled at all the times that I have felt that Heavenly Father and our Savior are truly aware of us. From a promise by our prophet that conference would be unforgettable, remembering personal sacred experiences that “I know that God knows I know”, wondering how I can fulfill my primary calling and receiving opportunities to do so, receiving a prompting to know how to help one of my children, or enjoying the special spirit of having the sacrament in our home.

 The most recent experience of knowing that Heavenly Father and my Savior are aware of me and love me happened this past Sunday. I had become lax in my Come, Follow Me studies and decided to sit down and take notes on just 1 section from the week. As soon as I started reading, I felt a sense of peace and acceptance as if the Lord was telling me, “Welcome back. You’re ok. Keep moving forward.” These kind and loving thoughts give me the desire to move into this new moment and do a little better because my Heavenly Father and my Savior know me personally and they love me. They will never give up on us and are anxiously waiting with open arms to bless us.
