Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son.

To be honest, it was only recently that I understood the term "Only Begotten Son", and it was thanks to my brother. Before we came to Earth, we lived in Heaven as spirit sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ was our Elder Brother. When we came to Earth, we received a body of flesh and blood from our Earthly parents. Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of our Father in Heaven—He was born of a mortal mother, Mary, and an immortal father—our Heavenly Father. He is the Only Begotten Son—meaning He is the only literal Son of our Heavenly Father. This is an important name because if Jesus had just been born of a mortal mother and a mortal father, then He couldn't have atoned for our sins and afflictions because He'd be mortal, like us, and wouldn't have been able to handle it. But He was born of His mortal mother, Mary, and of His immortal father, Heavenly Father. He wasn't just a human—he was an immortal God who chose to accept His part in The Plan of Happiness and die for us so that we could come to Him in our time of need and so that we didn't have to pay for our sins and afflictions. I'm grateful for His love and sacrifice for me, and I'm grateful for the prompting I had from the Spirit to focus on Jesus Christ this month because I am learning so much more about Him. :)

I feel my Saviour's love for me.

I feel my Saviour's love for me through other people, especially my mom and all the women in my life that I look up to. Through their examples, and the love that they have for me, I feel my Saviour's love. Just like the primary song, "I feel my Saviour's love In all the world around me His Spirit warms my soul Through everything I see He knows I will follow Him Give all my life to Him," I am able to feel His love for me as I walk through the world, and as I follow the example of the women that I look up to. I love that Heavenly Father knows exactly how to help me feel His love.
