"We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him."
You Are a Daughter of Your Heavenly Father. He knows you. He knows of your personal struggles and heartbreaks. He knows of your personal victories and successes. He loves you. He has loved you since before the world was.
In the pre-mortal existence you chose to follow His plan. Because you chose Heavenly Father’s plan, you were given the opportunity to come to earth and gain a body. You knew that this earth life would not always be easy. You knew that Satan and his followers would not receive bodies but they would be here to tempt you and to try you, all the while attempting to get in the way of your happiness.
But Heavenly Father sent you here with great power. You have the power to overcome Satan’s influences. “The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, “All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.” So every living soul who has a physical body ultimately has power over the adversary. You suffer temptations because of your physical nature, but you also have power over him and his angels.” (Boyd K. Packer. Counsel to Youth, General Conference, Oct 2011.)
We know the outcome of this struggle on earth. We are on the winning side. Do not be discouraged. You are never alone. Always remember, “They that be with Us are more than they that be with him.” You are a daughter of your Heavenly Father, Who Loves You.
