Who me?

Have you ever been in a large crowd and the person on stage was talking directly to you. For a minute you look at the people around you to see if the comments are meant for them, but they are looking back at you. Suddenly, you're increasingly aware that the comments are targeted at you, so with surprise on your face you point your finger to your chest and while tapping mouth the words "Are you talking to ME?" The speaker continues "That's right. You. I am talking to you." For an awkward moment your face flushes as you realize that you are the center of attention.

That is very much the scenario right now, except for the flush face. You are exactly the person this message is directed toward.

The God in Heaven created all things on earth and in heaven for you. He gave his Son that you might be exalted. His very purpose is to bring to pass your resurrection and exaltation. Moses 1:39

With that in mind every week our young women stand and recite these words:
WE ARE DAUGHTERS of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him. WE WILL “STAND as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places” (Mosiah 18:9) as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are:
Faith • Divine Nature • Individual Worth • Knowledge • Choice and Accountability • Good Works • Integrity • and Virtue
WE BELIEVE as we come to accept and act upon these values, WE WILL BE PREPARED to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
You are the most important person in heaven and earth.



Because He Lives
