Heavenly Father Sees Us in Terms of Forever

My heart is so full of love for the Savior. He lived His entire life on Earth for us. Not at all for Himself. He suffered for us. He died for us. He did this so that our imperfect selves could be forgiven, so that we could try better every day, so that we could feel peace.

I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and for His selflessness in giving the Savior to us so that we could be full of pure joy. I know it wasn't easy for Heavenly Father so see awful things happen to His only begotten son. I also know it wasn't easy for Jesus Christ to go through all of the pain and anguish that He did. But the moment we realize that these momentous acts were done for us, and would still be done if it was only for any one person on the Earth....the moment we realize that, is the moment that we should know that we are so perfectly loved. This knowledge makes me want to give my life to them. To do everything in my power to repay them.

I am no where close to perfect, but I do want to give Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ everything. I know that sometimes it is hard to put them first in everything that I do, but the more love I have for them the easier it will be.

I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ's love for me. I am so grateful that they are patient with me and that "Heavenly Father sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming".

We can't look at our lives in terms of what we haven't accomplished or what we aren't. We need to see ourselves and our loved ones in terms of forever, and see what we have accomplished and all that we are. We need to see ourselves and others as the Gods and Goddesses that we WILL become.
