Road to Royalty

We are all sons and daughters of a King. A Heavenly King. A King who is the most loving and perfect and just King that has ever existed and will ever exist. As His children we are heirs to His kingdom. Don't you want to make your Father proud? Aren't you going to work your hardest to be worthy of being an heir?

Our divine nature is...divine! It gives us a deeper sense of purpose and self-worth. Being a prince or a princess means that we don't have to act the way everyone else is. Remember that everyone is royal, too. Some of them have just forgotten.

Because we are divine each of us has a road map to royalty. We have forgotten some parts, but luckily we have plenty of tools to help us decipher the map.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said,

"We all search for happiness, and we all try to find our own 'happily ever after.' The truth is, God knows how to get there! And He has created a map for you; He knows the way. He is your beloved Heavenly Father, who seeks your good, your happiness. He desires with all the love of a perfect and pure Father that you reach your supernal destination. The map is available to all. It gives explicit directions of what to do and where to go to everyone who is striving to come unto Christ and 'stand as [a witness] of God at all times and in all things, and in all places.' All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan."

We have scriptures, teachers, friends, prophets, and our Heavenly Father waiting at the ready to help us. Each of us has a divine plan and a divine nature. I hope that one day we can all recognize it as Moses did. When Satan came and commanded Moses to worship him this was Moses's reply,

 "And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?" (Moses 1:13)

 I hope that one day we can all realize how special and loved we are. I hope that we can recognize our divine nature and our divine purpose and make the most of it. I hope that one day we can realize that because we are beloved children of Heavenly Father we no longer need to sin.

I know that I am a daughter of God and that I have a divine plan. I look forward to, one day, looking back and seeing the perfect plan that Heavenly Father has led me on.
