Aaronic Priesthood Theme

Relief Society declaration
Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God— Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
Doctrine and Covenants 76:58-59
I couldn't find a Melchizedek priesthood theme or declaration but these are a couple of verses where God us talking about the Melchizedek priesthood holders.
In each one of these, it's obvious our Father in Heaven loves us. He is our Father.
In moments when I feel alone, I have started reminding myself that God loves me. Jesus loves me. They are with me. It kind of grounds me. Feeling alone sometimes feels like an endless free fall in the dark. There's no up or down or anything to grasp onto, just endless, dark, empty space and the emotional desoeration that accomanies it. It's how I imagine Alma feeling when he was called to repentance and lay unconscious. (Alma 36:17-19)
When I was flailing in the vast expanse of darkness, the Spirit reminded me who I belong to and how much I'm loved. It set my feet on solid ground. He reminds me again and again. Now, I flail less and find my feet faster.
You are God’s beloved child. He loves you. Jesus loves you. They are with you even when you flail in the dark expanse. Trust that they are there. Look for them and they will help you find your way.
