Daughter of God Week Day 5

“The most powerful Being in the universe is the Father of your spirit. He knows
you, He loves you with a perfect love. God sees you not only as a mortal being
on a small planet who lives life for a brief season. He sees you as His child. He
sees you as the being you are capable and designed to become. He wants you
to know that you matter to Him. May we ever believe, trust, and align our lives so
that we will understand our true worth and potential.” Elder Uchtdorf

In today's entry, my friend Rachel shared the story of her father's passing from cancer.  It was such a powerful testimony of the Savior's love for my sweet friend, and of how much Heavenly Father loved her and how she felt that love at such a difficult time in her life.  Today we are suppose to write about the following things:
Write in your journal:
Do you believe God is there for you? How?
When have you felt that you are a literal daughter of God??
What could cause us to forget that we are daughters of God?
Read Isaiah 41:10 & 13. How does that make you feel?
Cut out this reminder and put it where you will see it everyday. Stand and be
a holy place.

I guess if I really think about it, I believe that God is there for me because I have felt the presence of the Spirit in my life over and over again, confirming those basic truths to me, comforting me when I am weak and my heart is heavy, blessing me with tender mercies, and in those quiet moments when  those tender feelings come upon me once again confirming the truthfulness of the gospel.  Over and over again in my life I have felt that I am a literal daughter of God.  I have felt that he knows me, and and what is in my heart and what I need, even if I don't see it.  I think that there is so much negativity out there, especially when it comes to women that it is easy to forget that we are daughters of God.  The way that the world would have us look at womanhood is not the way that our Heavenly Father would want us to see our selves.  He wants us to see ourselves as we truly are.  His daughters.  Women that have infinite potential.  Women that have purpose and women that strive to do the things that will bring us true happiness.  As I read Isaiah 41:10 and 13 I felt a confirmation that my Heavenly Father will always be there.  It is such a sweet feeling to receive that confirmation.  It is my hope and prayer that the young women in my ward gain a testimony of who they are.
