and therefore it was important to Him..

My Heavenly Father is so prevalent in my life and I feel it's important to share the experiences that I have as evidence of His love. I share this as both a reminder to myself of His presence and purest love, and also in hopes that my testimony can in some way benefit others with open hearts.

So this evening I lost something very trivial and seemingly unimportant (a new contact lens to be exact) and I was very frustrated that I knew I had brought it into the apartment but couldn't find it anywhere. I searched in every pocket of my jackets and jeans, through the many pockets of my purse, in the couch cushions, and the bags we threw in the trash earlier, but I could not find it. I was really starting to stress out when it came to me that I should pray to my Heavenly Father to help me find it. Of course I felt like my plea was insignificant in the scheme of things but I plead to my Father anyways to help me know where to look. In that moment I grabbed my jacket (which I had already searched through thoroughly several times) and headed out to my car with my hands in my pockets. I searched through my car frantically, finding nothing of course, but as I shut the door and hit the lock button to head back inside, I reached in my pocket as I walked away and wrapped my hand around that little contact case, and in that moment a smile came across my face and a realization came to me of the unfailing kindness and love of my Father in Heaven.

I know that this is something simple and in reality pretty minor, but tonight I had a testimony builder of the presence of my Father in Heaven in my life, and His willingness to bless me with the things I desire after if I will just come to Him and ask. He knew that it was important to me and therefore it was important to Him. He loves me, He loves you, and He will never leave us to do things on our own. The Church is true!
