A Little Girl's Dream of a Heavenly Mother

“I knew a little girl once, almost like you, who thought about her Heavenly Father, how good and great he was, but ever and ever alone through eternity, with no one to understand Him and none to love. How understandingly men, women and little children on the earth, and angels in heaven loved each other; birds and beasts had their kind, but God had no one to love Him! How solitary and gloomy for Him to sit ever alone in heaven! This overwhelming thought of the solitude of God oppressed her little heart; it would not leave her. Overcome with sadness, she cast herself on the moist grass and sobbed herself to sleep, while in her dream a white-robed angel came and whispered something in her ear, and she awoke and arose, and with a voice of gladness cried exultingly, O, Heavenly Mother, I have found you! Strange I did not know: that no one told me! Why, there must be a Heavenly Mother if there is a Heavenly Father!”
