How I Found Out God Loves Me

When I was born I could hear just fine, but I started to lose my hearing around the age of four, by the age of six I lost my hearing completely. I struggled to feel love and peace throughout my childhood because kids would tease me and made me feel that I was less than them. I felt very alone and afraid to talk for fear they would make fun of me. It brought me to a very dark place and afraid for the future because I feared what my life would be like if no one wanted to talk to me. But I realized I was seeking the wrong sources, I was seeking acceptance and approval from those around me. I thought if they would accept me I would have a sense of belonging and happiness. It was not until I started to pray to God and turn to Christ that I started to feel peace. Being deaf no longer bothers me, now I focus on what I can do to help others find their own personal peace by turning to Christ.

    Remember: God doesn't just love us. He loves YOU in specific. You need Him and His Son in your life. He is your Father and Christ is your brother. If you haven't already, please. Come unto Christ. You will not regret it. His is your Redeemer.

    I deeply appreciate this sentiment because it emphasizes the intensely personal nature of God's love. It reminds us that we are individually cherished, with a unique connection to our Heavenly Father and Christ. Encouraging us to come unto Christ as our Redeemer underscores the transformative power of this personal relationship, promising fulfillment and purpose.

    This piece is so beautiful! I wish I could purchase a copy. I love when you said- "I no longer worry what others think about me. Instead I worry about how I can help them find the peace and the love that I have found." I want to shift my thinking to that.

    Sister, this is such an uplifting video. It definitely goes to show how your talents which are truly remarkable to say the least have shone through the cruelty of those that choose not to follow The Savior Jesus Christ. They lack the light 💡 you have but you are providing for them with the ears that you have but they actually don’t, and that’s to Hear Him! I really love this artwork 🖼️ as it is truly reflective of your talents and also illustrative of how we reach through the gloominess of the world to find that peace we need which is in & of Him ❤… For after all this was what the Prophet Joseph Smith endured when he prayed in the Sacred grove, and the infernal pit collapsed and was dissolved by his joyful and marvellous vision whereby The Creators of all Time and Space shared Their sacred Space with him and taught him. I believe something very similar is happening here which you’ve conquered and you are showing the world that you are a light 💡 of the world that cannot be hid 🌟⭐️🌟🌕🪐 🔭
