We Are Loved

We identify with our divine nature as we feel and give the love of our Father in Heaven. We have the agency to nurture it, let it flourish, and help it grow. Peter said we are given “precious promises” that we “might be partakers of the divine nature.”5 As we understand who we are—daughters of God—we begin to feel those precious promises.Looking out through a window, not just into a mirror, allows us to see ourselves as His

We are His. Paul said, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”7 Often the first Primary song we learn is “I Am a Child of God.”8Now it is time to take that beloved phrase “I am a child of God” and add the words “Therefore, what?” We might even ask questions such as these: “What will I do to live my life as a child of God?” “How can I develop the divine nature that is within me?”

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “God sent you here to prepare for a future greater than anything you can imagine.”9 That future, a day at a time, comes alive when you do more than just exist; it comes alive when you live your life to fill the measure of your creation. This invites the Lord into your life, and you begin to let His will become yours.
