Dear Friend,

Do you know Him? Do you know what it feels like to follow Him, to trust Him, to seek Him? Do you know what its like to find Him? He is always there, He is steadfast and immovable. It is us who drifts away from Him, so how do we stay with him? How do we know Him?

What does it take to know Him? "Let no man be afraid to lay down his life for my sake; for whoso layeth down his life for my sake shall find it again." Is that what I must do? Give up my life for Him? Then that is what I will do. My life is His, whatever He would have me do, according to God's will shall be done. 

Do you know Him? If you do where have you found Him? Have you found Him in your church meetings, in your service projects in your home? Have you found Him in holy places and in the secret places where you pray? And did not He welcome you with open arms, and a loving voice?  " Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance." (2 Nephi 26:27)

So tell me, do you know Him? For I am longing to find Him, this is why I keep my standards high, this is why I honor my father and mother, this is why I try with all my heart to listen and obey His word. I have been told that if I ask I will receive, seek and I shall find, knock and it shall be opened and if I search will not I know? For I long to know Him.

He is my Savior, my Brother, my hope, my Friend. And I feel Him near me I feel Him apart of me, He loves me-He loves you.
