How can I be discouraged when my Father watches the sparrows, and I know He loves and cares for me

 In 1905, after a conversation with a friend who had long endured serious health challenges, Civilla D. Martin found inspiration for the beloved hymn “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” When Civilla asked her friend how she avoided discouragement, she replied, “How can I be discouraged when my Father watches the sparrows, and I know He loves and cares for me?”

Her words echoed the Savior’s teaching that no sparrow falls without the Father’s notice—and that even “the very hairs of [our] head are all numbered.” Elder Neal A. Maxwell added that the God who governs galaxies also guides our personal lives. “God is in the details!” he said. “… He knows and loves each and all of mankind!”

I bear witness of this truth: God and His Son, Jesus Christ, love all—and They love each.
