Who You Really Are

I love what the Prophet posted on Instagram today. Here's what he said:

"Great power lies in learning who you really are. Please take time to think prayerfully about these facts: 

You are an elect son or daughter of God. 

You were created in His image. 

You were taught in the spirit world to prepare you for anything and everything you would encounter during this latter part of these latter days. That teaching endures within you! 

Learn for yourselves who you really are. Ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, how He feels about you and your mission here on earth. If you ask with real intent, over time the Spirit will whisper the life-changing truth to you. Record those impressions and review them often, and follow through with exactness. 

I promise you that when you begin to catch even a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father sees you and what He is counting on you to do for Him, your life will never be the same!"

-- Russell M. Nelson, Instagram post, 9/11/2019 (Emphasis added)

 I think we often times forget our divine nature.  We are all children of God.  Literally.  We are His spirit children. I love the line that says that we were taught and prepared for everything we would encounter in mortality.  Because sometimes we feel like we can't handle what we've been given to deal with here on earth in mortality.  So that's comforting to know that we came to earth prepared to deal with the trials of mortality.  We just have to remember who we really are.

That's my two cents.
