I remember well the day you left my side and wandered through the veil, venturing forth to fulfill your earthly mission. I had a tear in my eye as I clothed your spirit in a cloak of love and sent you off to school. Be assured that my thoughts are with you now, as always.
I love you with all my heart. I know your life; the good, the bad, your grief, your disappointments, your unrewarded efforts, your frustrations and your temptations. But always remember – all that I have is yours if you will only come home again.
Daughter, realize that in you I have placed a bit of heaven, no one was exempt. I love all my children. You have some blest gifts, some talents and some little part of me in you. Search for it. Develop it. Use it, and most importantly, share it with others. If you really love me, then help others to find themselves, and lead them back to me. Show your love by serving others.
Repent of your failings and humble yourself. Make yourself ever teachable and continually strive to improve. I gave you weaknesses to help you to be humble. Don’t condemn me for that. I did it because I love you. Be full of hope; don’t let discouragement engulf you. I’ll come when you need me.
Daughter, cease your idle contentions. Be a peacemaker, for it breaks my heart to see many of my children fighting. If they could only see what I have hoped, planned and desired for them.
My heart breaks as I watch them. But you, my faithful daughter, are my hope. It is through you that my work must proceed. You haven’t much time, and there is much to be done. I beg you to get started. Accomplish the mission I gave to you before you left me. I’ll help you. I’ll never be too busy or too far away to come to you. I’m nearer to you than you might suspect. I have so much that I would like to tell you.
Come to me often in prayer. I love to talk to you, my beloved daughter. Be diligent in my work and my kingdom shall be yours. I’d love to take you in my arms, but I must wait patiently until the time comes. Until then, I leave you my peace, my blessing, and my love. Never forget that I am nearby whenever you need me.
I love and miss you so much. How I am looking forward to your return to your Mother and me.
All My Love,
Your Heavenly Father
"To mothers, daughters, and women everywhere, let me stress the fact that because of your great potential and influence for good in the lives of all of us, Satan is determined to destroy you. You cannot compromise with him. You must have the courage, the strength, the desire, and the determination to live as the Lord would have you live – good clean lives. Girls, keep yourselves virtuous and worthy of a fine young man who has likewise kept himself clean, so that together you can go to the House of the Lord to be sealed in the holy bonds of matrimony for time and all eternity, and prepare a home where God will be pleased to send his spirit children."
N. Eldon Tanner
"Sisters, you were not born at this time and place by chance. You are here because this is where the Lord wants you to be....
"... Strong women
are needed, women who will stay morally clean when all about them do not,
women who will establish homes that are a little bit of heaven and where
the family is upheld and little children are cared for and given love and
attention by their own mothers, women who will shun pornography – not just
older women, but young women too, who will seek personal and social refinement,
who will strive to become more cultured, who will respect the authority
of the home and the priesthood. As the Church grows, there will be a need
for more women who are leaders, for more women everywhere who have the
courage to proclaim their testimony of Jesus Christ, women who will pray
and study to find out what the Lord requires of them and who will then
make right choices and put themselves in the hands of the Lord."
