"God has known you individually...for a long, long time (see D&C 93:23). He has loved you for a long, long time. He not only knows the names of all the stars (see Psalm 147:4; Isaiah 40:26); He knows your names and all of your heartaches and your joys!"

Neal A. Maxwell, "Remember How Merciful the Lord Hath Been," Ensign, May 2004, 46.


I came across this quote today and it gave me perfect happiness. It's comforting to know He understands me--probably better than I know myself--and is right there, walking beside me on the path of my life.
