Feeling God’s Love
When I was the Young Women class president, we started out with only five girls in the class. But then a new girl moved in, and we wanted to help her feel welcome and included.
I started out not knowing her that well, but I tried to be extra nice to her. After a while, the “extra nice” just became the normal amount of nice as she became my friend. I began to understand how God loves His children. I was able to feel that love for the girls in my class. Serving others helps me feel genuine love toward them.
I know we can rely on Jesus Christ through anything. When I’m having a hard time and when I’m having a good time, if I feel like my life is going great, or if I feel like it’s the exact opposite, He’s always there.
