Who are we really? We are not simply placed here to flounder and
struggle through life alone. We are children of our Heavenly Father who
loves us. The purpose of this blog is to invite all to come unto Christ
by recognizing our divine identity as sons and daughters of God. In Romans 8:16-17 it says:
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified
together."
We can know that we are indeed the children of God because the Holy Spirit will touch our hearts and our spirits. As part of this blog, I will share experiences of myself and other people as we come to recognize our identity and the role we play in God's plan. I know that truly understanding our identity and who we are has the power to change the decisions we make on a daily basis, how we view ourselves, and how we treat the people around us.

F. Uchtdorf, an apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, spoke about the sublime concept of our TRUE identity in the following video. I know
that we are not merely children of earthly parents, but that we are
spirit children of God. We have divine attributes and traits that we
inherited from Him. These traits allow us to rise above the norm and treat each other as the divine beings that we truly are!
