On Sunday, March 16, a devotional was held worldwide for the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The devotional speakers were Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson, and her counselors, Sister Kristen M. Yee and Sister J. Anette Dennis. They spoke from the Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, where the Relief Society was first founded in 1842.
“Our objective since 1842 is meant to bring all of our Heavenly Father’s children back home,” President Johnson said. “We know that that’s possible through our Savior, Jesus Christ, because of His Atonement. We can be made clean and whole and sanctified and return home.”
“Our Heavenly Father and Savior know you,” Sister Yee testified, “they’re aware of your needs … what you’re concerned about, and desire to bless you.” She added that the Relief Society sisters “next to you have those same desires to be loved, [for] the opportunity to contribute and to feel valued.”
Sister Dennis acknowledged that some women struggle to feel God’s love.
“As we go out and genuinely put our arms around others and show them our love and have them feel our love, then they start to feel the Savior’s love as well,” Sister Dennis said.
