My Dearest Daughter

My Dearest Daughter,

                How well I remember the day you left my side and ventured on your mission to earth.  That day I clothed your spirit with my cloak of love and tenderly sent you off to school.  My thoughts are with you now as always.  How I Love You!  I know of the grief and pain as well as the joy and happiness you experience.  I know your school is full of ugliness and temptation as well as beauty, but remember, please remember, all that I have is yours, if you come back to me.

                Each of you went into your new adventure with talents buried deep inside.  Bring forth those talents.  Develop them and share them.  Give what is yours to give with all your heart.  Covet not one another’s gifts.

                You, my child of Zion, have many blessings that my other children do not have.  You share my Holy Priesthood.  You may go to the sacred temples to learn of my eternal truths.  You bear your children with the knowledge that they shall be yours forever, if you live worthy to come back to me.  But remember—Where much is given, much is expected--!

                There are many among you who hunger for food and need care.  Give of yourself until you are drained of your strength and then give…more.  There are many of you who hunger and thirst for my word.  Go forth with your humble spirit.  Give my message in their homes.  Pour out my good tidings.  Restore faith where it has been lost.  Give them my spoken words.

                And so my beloved child, let charity and love be your constant companions.  Read the scriptures, listen to the voices of my Prophets.  Come to me often in prayer.  Be humble and faithful.  Be diligent in my work and my kingdom shall be yours forever.

                We love you and miss you so very much and, oh how we are looking forward to your returning again to me and your Mother.

                                                                                                                All My Love,

                                                                                                      Dad

                                                                                                              (Your Father in Heaven)
