The Seeds of Greatness


All of us are born with the seeds of greatness inside of us. We are literal Sons and Daughters of God, which make us special. Not because we are special but because God is. We all have that innate desire to be better than we are, to leave behind us a legacy of faith, hope, prosperity, wisdom and spiritual progression. To create something from nothing. We are supposed to reach for something beyond our current circumstance. Our Heavenly Father is a God of creation, love, faith, and all good things. It is within each of us to accomplish those things that help us reach our God-given potential. We were created for a purpose. Not to be sent here on earth to only dwell in our unbeliefs, doubts, fears, worries, frustrations and all that is negative around us. We are here to have faith, to help those around us become better, to come to Him, to be the best we were created to be!


We need to start confessing those things that are good and right for us to have. Confessing those things that are positive and what we want to have in our lives. Saying that I feel great instead of feeling terrible. Saying that you are filled with faith and hope and that all good things happen to you instead of nothing good ever happens to me. That is how our Heavenly Father works. He works by our faith. Faith precedeth the blessings.


Because we are His children, we have great potential just laying there dormant, waiting to be woke up by the goodness of His love and our faith. We need to rekindle that burning fire inside of us and claim blessings as our own because Heavenly Father wants to give them to us. We ARE created for a purpose. It is time to find out what that purpose is and then expect to be on the road to accomplishing those things that bring us closer to it every day! That bring us closer to His love and joy.


I know that I was created for something great, to help others reach their potential, to teach my children those things that are right and true, to be a companion to my husband. To have joy and love and peace in my life. I know that all things are possible if we just believe. We all have the seeds of greatness with in us, we just need to plant them, nourish them and then watch them grow!

These are beautiful thoughts. They remind me of some of the things that President Spencer W. Kimball tells us in the Miracle of Forgiveness and things other prophets and apostles have said. We are so blessed to have the knowledge that we are indeed children of a loving kind Heavenly Father that loves us very much. We are of worth and are needed!

Love,
Mom
