I am a Child of God

Picture found @ Desertebook.com
 
We have FHE on Sunday night, most of the time, because the week just gets too crazy.  Last night I was really touched by our opening song, "I am a Child of God".  I have sang this song more times than I can count.  This is my "comfort" song,  I sing it when I am scared at night (I am afraid of the dark, always have been and always will be).

 Last night, this song meant something different for some reason.  It reminded me of my worth.  I AM a Child of God!  He sent me here.  He gave me an earthly home with parents, friends and a little family of my own who are kind and loving to me.  He does lead me and guide me and walks beside me, sometimes, when life is hard he even carries me! 

I felt His loving arms around me as we sang that song and as we prayed and read our scriptures.  The love I feel from my Father in Heaven is marvelous!

When I was in YW and we would repeate the Young Women theme, I felt of my Heavenly Fathers love too.  I am a daughter of my Heaven Father, who LOVES me and I love Him!

I am SO grateful for the church that I belong to and for the joy and guidance that it brings me!  I AM a Child of God.  He loves me!

I think it is great how sometimes things we have known all of our lives hit us in a different way. Sometimes we should pretend that we are converts and learning all these things for the first time. It would open our eyes and make us appreciate these truths more. Thanks for sharing.

I love wonderful reminders of gospel truths like this. When the actual reality of what you know and are trying to teach your children hits you, it can be so powerful. That's why I think I cried every week as the Primary chorister. Everything was so basic, but the testimony I bore through teaching those songs was powerful. Combine that with a whole bunch of big, beautiful, innocent munchkin eyes looking up and believing every word and I was a goner. :) Funny how it's usually the simple things that hit the hardest. What a cool story! Thanks for sharing.
