Children of God

"I am a child of God, and He has sent me here. Has given me and earthly home, with parents kind and dear. Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do, to live with Him someday." (Primary Children's Songbook pg.3)

This goes for every single person, that has, is, or will ever live on this earth. Everyone is a child of a loving and kind Heavenly Father. He wants us to do the best we can on this earth, so that we may return to live with Him someday. Our elder brother, Jesus Christ suffered, died, and was resurrected so that we may do this exact thing. Everyone has a chance to repent and be saved. But, the Atonement isn't just for repenting, it's also so that we have someone to turn to when times are hard. Christ has gone through it all, for each and every one of us. ALL of us know someone who knows what we are going through, our Savior.

If everyone is a child of God, and God wants us all to return to Him through the Atonement of Christ, we need to treat everyone like they are a child of God. Be kind, helpful, a friend, provide service, anything and everything to make them feel loved, not only by you but by God and Christ also. It only takes a simple wave, a hello, a kind note, a little act of service. You could make someone's day by doing a simple service. It may seem small, but to them it just might be huge.

Here's a talk by Russel M. Nelson that talks about being a child of God.  https://www.lds.org/liahona/1978/11/i-am-a-child-of-god?lang=eng

I know that God loves all His children, He wants them to return to Him someday and live in the celestial kingdom. I personally want and am going to try a lot harder to be nicer to all of God's children and treat them how God treats me, and how He would want me to treat them. I love this gospel so much and am grateful for it in my life. I'm thankful for my leaders, freinds, and family who love and support me each and everyday. Thanks everyone for being so awesome!

Love,
