He Loves You! Oh, How He Loves You!

"God's spirit of love is with us. He loves you--oh, how he loves you--for the righteous desires of your heart, for the good that you do, for your hunger to serve him and bless his children. But more than that he loves *you.* He loves *who* you are. He loves you unconditionally. He loves the whole you, *all* of you, not just the good parts or the disciplined parts or the parts that serve. He loves your history, even if your past has been sorrowful and painful, not just the present of service and the future of righteousness we all long for. He is with you. He wants you to feel him with you, to trust him enough to acknowledge his presence . . . Let him fill you with joy and consolation."

Have I Done Any Good?

“When the Apostle Peter spoke of Jesus, who had been his friend and teacher, he offered this simple description: ‘[He] went about doing good.’

“I feel the same can be said of the man we sustain today as the prophet of God."

--President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, speaking about President Thomas S. Monson, (“Faith of Our Father,” Liahona, May 2008, 69–70)
