Recently, I have been kind of down. I was sick. I wasn't sure about the future. I thought about dropping everything and move to Africa and join a tribe. I wasn't sure about my full potential. I felt lonely because I felt like I was the only one suffering. I felt like I was worthless.
Today, I want to testify that God, my Father in Heaven, knows me (and you). He loves me. He cares. He knows what I need to hear.
I can finally say that I love BYU (Brigham Young University) because even in a secular class, I can learn gospel principles. In a secular institution, I can feel the Spirit. In what other educational institutions in the world (except other Church institutions) could you feel the Spirit, learn gospel principles, and receive personal revelations?
I want to tell you the principle that I have learned in my class today: everyone is a sinner. Whether it be your parents, your bishop, your stake president, or the prophet of our Church, we are all sinners. That gave me comfort. That gave me peace. I am not alone in this journey of mortal life. Everyone is suffering. Everyone is trying to be more like Christ. Everyone fails time to time but we are all trying to become better.
God knows my potential. He knows who and what I can become. He is continually refining me. If I weren't at work but at home, I would be bawling my eyes out right now because I am so grateful for God's mercy and Christ's grace that strengthen me.
My Heavenly Father loves me and I have no doubt about that.
