Daughter of God Week

We began the Daughter of God week today in Young Women's.  As a leader in this program, I want nothing more for our young women to to understand and to know that they are daughters of God.  I know that this is where my worth lies.  I know that I am the daughter of a loving Heavenly Father, and because I know that, I can get through all of the hard things that come my way in this life.  We have been encouraged to participate this week, and I plan to blog about my thoughts, feelings and experiences.

The letter below is the activity for day one.  As we read it, we are suppose to be thinking and praying about whether Heavenly Father really listens to us and is there for us.  I am really grateful for the opportunity to focus on this this week.

DAY 1: Letter from Your Father

I remember well the day you left my side, wandered through the veil, and ventured forth to

fulfill your earthly mission. I had a tear in my eye as I clothed your spirit in a cloak of love

and sent you off to school. Be assured that my thoughts are with you now, and always will

be.

I love you with all of my heart. I know your life, the good, the bad, your grief, your

disappointments, your unrewarded efforts, your frustrations. But always remember all that I

have is yours if you will only come home again.

My daughter, realize that in you I have placed a bit of heaven. No one was excluded. I love

all of my children. You have some blessed gift, some talent, some little part of me in you.

Search for it, develop it, use it, and most importantly, share it with others. If you really love

me, then help others find themselves and lead them to me.

Daughter, cease you idle contentions. Be a peacemaker, for it breaks my heart to see many of

my children fighting. If they could only see what I have hoped, planned, and desired for them.

My heart breaks as I watch them. But you, my faithful daughter are my hope. It is through

you that my work must proceed. There is so much work to be done. I beg you to get started.

Accomplish the mission I gave to you before you left me. I will help you. I’ll never be too busy

or too far away to come to you. I’m always near you, more than you might suspect.

Come to me often in prayer. I love to talk to you my sweet daughter. I love to hear what is

going on in your day. The good. The bad. Be diligent in my work and my kingdom shall be

yours. I’d love to take you in my arms, but I too, must patiently wait for that time to come.

Till then, I leave you my peace, my blessings, my love, and my hope that you will never forget

that I am with you always whenever you need me. Please remember that.

I love you and miss you more than you know and I am looking forward to your return to me

someday.

All my love,
