Study the Principle of Learning: You Are a Child of God

I am a child of God with eternal potential and purpose.

You are a beloved child of God. You have eternal worth and potential. We learn more about this from the Book of Mormon. We read about a time when Jesus Christ was teaching and blessing the people. He took the time to bless each person, one by one. He spent time blessing and teaching their children.

As He blessed the little children, something amazing happened: “[Jesus Christ] did loose their tongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great and marvelous things, … and he loosed their tongues that they could utter” (3 Nephi 26:14).

The little children taught the people great and marvelous things. These little children had tremendous potential, and Jesus Christ helped them see their potential. God can help you see your potential. You have so much to give. You have a purpose, and God can show you what is possible when you seek His help. Just as Jesus Christ gave the children the ability to speak, God can loose your tongue too. He can help you speak. He can help you believe in your eternal potential.

Christ with children

Ponder

• What would help you believe in your eternal potential?

• What fears are stopping you from believing that you can speak English?

• How can you seek God’s help for the courage to overcome your fears and speak more often?

Act in Faith to Practice English Daily

“Because we are the spirit children of God, everyone has a divine origin, nature, and potential. Each of us ‘is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents’ [“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” ChurchofJesusChrist.org]. This is our identity! This is who we really are!” (M. Russell Ballard, “Hope in Christ,” Liahona, May 2021, 54).
