We hear it and read about it in the scriptures, “The Lord chastens those whom He loves.” I am a first-hand witness of how the Lord manifests His love for His children through chastening. And I’m so grateful for that! Nearly 20 years later, Ron and I have the marriage we always dreamed of having. We love each other profoundly, and we grow more and more unified as we each strive to draw closer to the Savior. And the fact that our marriage is an eternal one is just another manifestation of the Father’s love for us. 

And it’s this love that is the focus of today’s episode. And to help with this, I’ve asked LDS life coach Lori Holyoak to join us and to share her insights from Elder Wakolo’s conference talk, “God Loves His Children.”

At the end of the week, go back through your notes and see how the manifestations of God’s love for you enriched and blessed you.
