Join me for a few reflections on feeling seen and loved by Jesus Christ after studying and teaching about His resurrection to my local congregation. I share the differing biblical accounts of women witnessing His resurrection, and relate it to the way we as women today are sometimes still invisible or not acknowledged by our fellow men and women. I affirm my testimony that we are each loved and known by name by our Savior, no matter our situation, marital or family status, or job title, and I share a few personal experiences that taught me this vital principle.
“Our lives matter, no matter our situation—whether we have children or not, work for pay or not, or we have a combination or whatever it might be. He truly knows our name. He knows our struggles; he knows our hearts. It is up to us to feel him and KNOW him. He is always there. It is our responsibility to be in the head space and heart space to feel him.”
-Dr. Susan R. Madsen
