God is Kind to Me

I am so grateful!! for amazing friends who are there for me when I need them.  They're there when I need someone to talk to, someone to listen, someone to smile, someone to give me a hug, someone to lend a shoulder to cry on, and someone who cares and loves me.
I'm so grateful that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and answers my prayers by sending me a friend to help me in my times of trouble.  I love my friends and family.  I'm so grateful for their examples to me and for their support and love to me.
I'm so grateful I have a loving older brother who cared enough to die for me.
 11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
 12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
 13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
-Alma 7:11-13 (Book of Mormon)

This link is to a Mormon Message.  President Henry B. Eyring, a disciple of Jesus Christ, urges us to seek God's help to overcome complacency and discouragement and find joy in serving Him today.
I know God livesI know He answers our prayers.  I know He loves us and is very much aware of us.
