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 daughter or son of God. He has so much He wants to help you learn. He wants to help you reach your eternal potential. Sometimes this can seem impossible. In the Bible, we read about a young woman named Mary. An angel appeared to her and told her she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior of everyone. She would raise the Son of God on earth as her own son. Perhaps Mary felt overwhelmed with what Heavenly Father wanted her to do and to become, but the angel told her:

“For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).

With God, the impossible becomes possible. Mary became mother to the Son of God. Like Mary, God wants to help you reach your potential and fulfill your purpose in life. Pray to Him and ask Him what He wants you to do. Follow the thoughts and feelings you receive from His Spirit. He will guide you. Perhaps you need to learn English to be able to get an education or provide for your family. Remember that “with God nothing shall be impossible.” With God, you can learn English. With God, you can reach your eternal potential.

Ponder

  • What do you feel God wants you to do?

  • When God invites you to do things that you think are impossible, how can you choose to act in faith?

Act in Faith to Practice English Daily

“Learn for yourselves who you really are. Ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, how He feels about you and your mission here on earth. If you ask with real intent, over time the Spirit will whisper the life-changing truth to you. Record those impressions and review them often, and follow through with exactness.

“I promise you that when you begin to catch even a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father sees you and what He is counting on you to do for Him, your life will never be the same!” (Russell M. Nelson, Facebook, Sept. 10, 2019, facebook.com/russell.m.nelson).
