Elder Neal A. Maxwell taught:
“The same God that placed that star in a precise orbit millennia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of the birth of the Babe has given at least equal attention to placement of each of us in precise human orbits so that we may, if we will, illuminate the landscape of our individual lives, so that our light may not only lead others but warm them as well.” (Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "That My Family Should Partake," p. 86)
“I testify to you that God has known you individually … for a long, long time (see D&C 93:23). He has loved you for a long, long time. … He knows your names and all your heartaches and your joys!” (Elder Neal A Maxwell “Remember How Merciful the Lord Hath Been,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2004, 46).
