Sometimes it's hard to remember that I am a daughter of God.
I'm sure all of you have felt like that at some point.
Things like, how do I look, what do people think of me, I'm not pretty enough, or I'm not smart enough start to creep into our thoughts and make us wonder what we are worth.
This talk I found by President Faust helped to remind me of how wonderful it is to know I am a daughter of God.
When I remember that fact and trust in it, life becomes so much more meaningful.
Comparing myself to the people around me becomes less of a temptation.
I see more of the purpose I have in this life and am able to see that purpose so much more clearly.
I am so thankful for the gospel!
It would be so easy to forget how much we matter without really knowing who we are and who we can become.
My dad told my siblings a story yesterday of about an English prince. A group of men wanting to overthrow their current form of government captured this prince and tried to corrupt him by exposing him to every sinful, vulgar behavior. After weeks of not being able to bring this young man down, these men asked him why he had not fallen to this lifestyle that no one else they had exposed to it had been able to withstand.
The prince replied that he was born to be a king and that was not the behavior of a king.
My dad reminded us that we all have the potential to become kings and queens. We were born to become kings and queens. As a daughter of God, that is my destiny if I follow a righteous path.
All of us daughters of God must be worth a lot if our Heavenly Father has promised us that we can have all that he has by following him and living up to our divine potential.
It's good to remember who I am and where I am going.
