God
is our Heavenly Father. We are His children. He has a body of flesh and
bone that is glorified and perfected. He loves us. He weeps with us
when we suffer and rejoices when we do what is right. He wants to
communicate with us, and we can communicate with Him through sincere
prayer.
He
has given us this experience on the earth so we can learn and grow. We
can show our love for Him through our choices and our obedience to His
commandments.
Heavenly
Father has provided us, His children, with a way to be successful in
this life and to return to live in His presence. However, we must be
pure and clean through obedience in order to do so. Disobedience moves
us away from Him. Central to our Father’s
plan is Jesus Christ’s Atonement. The Atonement included His suffering
in the Garden of Gethsemane as well as His suffering and death on the
cross. Through the Atonement we can be freed from the burden of our sins
and develop faith and strength to face our trials.
