This morning while speaking with my Father in Heaven in prayer I suddenly became so homesick for Him. I found myself in tears telling Him how much I miss Him and wish I could see His face and feel His embrace again. I felt like my little toddlers who play happily with their toys while I go about housework and then suddenly call out, "Mom! Mom!". I come to them. They smile and tell me some little story or just say "hi" then happily turn back to their toys content as can be. I guess I just needed a little check in with my Heavenly Father. I was so grateful for the peace I felt and reassurance that I will be with Him again if I keep the commandments. I found myself thanking Him for the commandments and for the safety and peace they give me. I found myself tearfully thanking Him for the prophets and pioneers who sacrificed so much to bring His words and blessings to my life.
For any who doubt, let me bear witness that your Father in Heaven knows you and loves you. He is watching over your life with great care and longs for your return to Him. He wants to hear from you and comfort you. No matter how far you feel from Him if you turn around where you are and look for Him He will come to you.
