February Presidency Message
Our focus for the month of February is Establish Your Best Self. The key to becoming our best is recognizing that we come from the best. The Relief Society theme teaches that “we are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction”. Our Father in Heaven wants us to become our best selves! Because He loves us and wants us to succeed in our life’s mission, He hasn’t sent us here empty handed. What qualities and characteristics have you inherited from Him? What gifts has He given you? What talents have you been blessed with? Reflect on your divinity for a while and ask Him to help you see yourself through His eyes. You will be filled with gratitude for the knowledge of His love for you. Your path to establishing your best self doesn’t start from nothing! You are already an awesome woman! Let Him reveal your individual worth and divine nature.
Starting from that divine perspective creates an amazing
power, motivation and personal hope with in us. It generates the confidence
necessary to ask yourself, what gifts does my Father in Heaven still want to
bestow on me? What qualities does He want me to work on and improve upon? Are
there gifts that I desire to ask of Him? Have you talked to Him about these
thoughts? President Monson taught that “with God on our side we cannot fail.”
He also asks us, “Are we prepared for our journey through life?” He then outlines
a way for us to prepare ourselves, “determine to study diligently, pray
fervently, and live righteously. Let us never despair, for the work in which we
are engaged is the work of the Lord.”
President Monson, the prophet of the Lord also promises, “Miracles are
everywhere…When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish
striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes.” God’s primary purpose is to help us all to
become like Him. As we study, pray and seek to live righteously we will be led
by the Spirit on a personal path of refinement and we will know how to establish
our best selves. We testify of these
truths and promise that as you strive to establish your best self, you will be
filled with joy and you will be a blessing to those around you.
Love,
Jennifer, Tiffiny, Yvonne and Breann
