Our Divine Heritage

In today’s world people really either don’t know who they truly are, or have forgotten amid the turmoil of life. We are the literal children of God our Eternal Father, created in his image, glorious and eternal, and the future Kings and Queens of the Eternities.
           
In my life, the knowledge that I am a daughter of God, that I have purpose, that He loves and knows me personally, and that He is my Father and not just some presents out in the universe; is what has given me the strength that I need, and the will to rise above the trials and hardship in my life.

God is our Father. He loves us, and wants us to return to live with Him once more. Voices in the world will try to convince you that you have no worth and don’t matter. But that is simply not true, because you matter to him.
