I am His Daughter

I just came across this video a friend had posted on facebook and was touched by it. There are so many people in the world, especially women who have lost their identity, they don't know of their worth or their purpose. The media tells you how you must look and act to get noticed, but that kind of attention wont bring you happiness. There are so many who are confused and don't know that in truth they belong to a King, a Heavenly Father who they mean the world to. If we truly realized, and remembered that fact, how could we not rejoice? I say this now, because I at times forget who I am and how so very significant I am to my Father in Heaven. We are all significant. We all have a purpose. We all are loved and remembered. We are constantly being watched over by a loving Father that will let us choose our path so we may learn but so desires us to return to him. He would never want us to forget that we belong, and we matter.

There is something refreshing about attending the Temple. I don't do it often enough and I think that's my problem. There is inspiration and peace felt there that can't be found anywhere else, and how easily I forget that. I have just graduated from college after being in school pretty much my whole life. I have a lot of time on my hands right now as I wait for my license. When I don't have something to focus on or keep me busy it makes me worry, but perhaps it is a good thing for me to take a break from the fast paced world around me and think about where I go now in this new chapter of my life. I have always looked ahead, into my future and what I expect to happen, but I hardly enjoy the moment and where I am right now. I need take each day for all of its worth and be happy about where I am because after all its not only about the destination but the journey that takes us there. You can't just say "When this [event] happens, then I will be happy" because chances are when you get there you will only be looking towards the next thing. Wherever I go and wherever I end up, there will always be one constant, the Gospel, but only if I make it my top priority. All that I have been blessed with and everything I have overcome is in credit to my Heavenly Father, who wouldn't let me give up but gave me the strength to get through it. People say you find yourself nearer to God when in distress, because that is when you need him, but I want to be near to him in my happiest moment too. 

 

There is something refreshing about attending the temple, you come out with a clearer view of who you are and what is most important.
