Who Do You Think You Are?

We see ourselves in terms of yesterday & today.

Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.

Although we might settle for less,

Heavenly Father won't,

for He sees us as the glorious

beings we are capable of becoming.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a

gospel of transformation.

It takes us as men & women of the earth

and refines us into men & women for the eternities.

-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Immersed in a world where our worth is defined

by the acquisition of Possession A,B, and C

or the bearing of Title X, Y, or Z

can leave us with the sense that we have little to no value.

Doesn't it take your breath away then,

just a little bit,

to know that we have a Heavenly Father

who's love for us transcends the frailities

of an earthly existence?

To know that your worth & potential,

as His child,

is of grand measure?

That's what is does to me when I read this quote.

Because I know it's true.

Gloriously, thankfully true, made possible by the

everlasting Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

"The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of transformation."

I love that.  I need that.
