The Mirror

Last night for mutual we had some presentations about being a Daughter of God. My part was to talk about 'What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a Daughter of God? Does what you see reflect who you really are?' I talked about the doctrine of being a daughter of God and then the things that He really sees in us. These are 2 of my favorite quotes from the night.

Jeffrey R. Holland, “To Young Women,” Ensign, Nov. 2005
"First of all, I want you to be proud you are a woman. I want you to feel the reality of what that means, to know who you truly are. You are literally a spirit daughter of heavenly parents with a divine nature and an eternal destiny. That surpassing truth should be fixed deep in your soul and be fundamental to every decision you make as you grow into mature womanhood. There could never be a greater authentication of your dignity, your worth, your privileges, and your promise. Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, including your fears and frustrations."

M. Russell Ballard, “Women of Righteousness,” Ensign, Apr. 2002
"We believe in and are counting on your GOODNESS and your STRENGTH, your propensity for VIRTUE and VALOR, your KINDNESS and COURAGE, your STRENGTH and RESILIENCE. We believe in your mission as women of God. We believe that the Church simply will not accomplish what it must without your FAITH and FAITHFULNESS, your innate tendency to put the well-being of others ahead of your own, and your SPIRITUAL STRENGTH and TENACITY. And we believe that God’s plan is for you to become QUEENS and to receive the highest blessings any woman can receive in time or eternity."

At the end of my part, we listened to the song "When you look in the Mirror" that I put over on the IPod. I swapped out some of the other songs too.
