Yesterday Jared and I had the opportunity to go to the Mesa temple for Baptisms and some quality time for reflection. Many things in life remind me that my savior loves me, he is there for me and will be no matter what happens. Lately I have been able to help out a loved one with some personal matters. She was not aware that what she was doing was wrong and how to correct it. My family and I are still in the process of helping her to see the light. The only thing that still constantly comes to mind is to just remind her that her savior loves her and wants the best for her. She needs to respect herself and be treated with respect by others, for that is what she deserves by being a Daughter of God. While I had my reflection time at the temple it became so clear to me that all I needed to do was be an example. Be the person she can turn to when she needs anything and by living my life to the best that I can, showing her how happy she can be and will be once she changes her lifestyle.
For all of you, just remember your Father and your Brother love you, enough to sacrifice for you and are ALWAYS there for you. Take care, and take some time out of your busy days to reflect.
The temple is a great place for reflection! I know I'm so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and the way he paved for us to be able to return to our Heavenly Father. I hope your friend is able to remember who she is and feel the love that Heavenly Father has for her. She's lucky to have you as an example!!
