Walk w/Christ-Day 13:Acknowledge Our Divine Nature


Read: 2 Peter 1:3-7, 1 Nephi 11:22-24 & D&C 76:24

Challenge: Do you really know who you are and that you have divine potential? Remember as you feel the penny in your shoe, that you are a daughter of God!

"Your Father in Heaven loves you. He knows you, He knows what you've been through, he knows what you have done & He loves you. He wants you to repent & come back to Him. Do you hear what I am saying? Heavenly Father loves you." This was a talk given by Brother Christensen,as a young person in the audience felt he was speaking specifically to her. These words caught her by surprise, as she seriously contemplated them for the rest of his speech.

The subject of the talk was how the Savior's atonement was a personal, sacred act. It was done for each of us individually, one at a time. We shouldn't fear going through the repentance process, because the Savior has already atoned for us. His mercy will give us strength, comfort and courage.

The speaker noted in a following class, that he felt his previous talk was a personal message from our Heavenly Father and he had even prayed afterward to make sense of it. This additional instruction was to be given by him to the listener: Believe what you have heard, believe what you have felt and that Heavenly Father loves you beyond mortal comprehension. He said the message was for that person alone and no one else heard it. She was deeply impacted knowing she was loved and watched over.

You too, are loved and known by our Heavenly Father as are all of His children. Give your sins, sorrows, frustrations & all that hold you down to Him. He will set you free! I know because I, Colleen, have tried it.

Journal: Can you think of a time you felt the Lord's love? How did you feel about yourself today?
