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

Wewe ni Mtoto wa Mungu

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

Mimi ni mtoto wa Mungu aliye na uwezekano wa kuwa na kusudi la milele.

Wewe ni mtoto mpendwa wa Mungu. Unayo thamani na uwezekano wa milele. Tunajifunza zaidi kuhusu hili kutoka katika Kitabu cha Mormoni. Tunasoma kuhusu wakati ambapo Yesu Kristo alikuwa anawafundisha na kuwabariki watu. Yeye alitumia muda kumbariki kila mtu, mmoja mmoja. Yeye alitumia muda kuwabariki na kuwafundisha watoto wao.

Yeye alipowabariki watoto wadogo, kitu fulani cha kushangaza kilitokea: [Yesu Kristo] aliwapatia uwezo wa kuongea, na waliwazungumzia baba zao vitu vikubwa na vya ajabu, … na alifungua ndimi zao kwamba wangezungumza” (3 Nefi 26:14).

Watoto wadogo walifundisha watu mambo makubwa na ya ajabu. Hawa watoto wadogo walikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa sana, na Yesu Kristo aliwasaidia kuona uwezekano wao. Mungu anaweza kukusaidia uone uwezekano wako wa kuwa. Unayo mengi sana ya kutoa. Unalo dhumuni, na Mungu anaweza kukuonyesha kile kinachowezekana wakati unapotafuta msaada Wake. Kama vile Yesu Kristo alivyowapa watoto uwezo wa kuongea, Mungu anaweza kufungua ulimi wako pia. Yeye anaweza kukusaidia kuongea. Yeye anaweza kukusaidia wewe uamini katika uwezekano wako wa milele.

Ponder

• Ni nini kinakusaidia wewe kuamini katika uwezekano wako wa milele?

• Ni hofu gani inakuzuia katika kuamini kwamba wewe unaweza kuongea Kiingereza.

• Ni kwa jinsi gani unaweza kutafuta msaada wa Mungu kwa ajili ya ujasiri wa kushinda hofu yako na kuongea mara nyingi zaidi?

“Kwa sababu sisi ni watoto wa kiroho wa Mungu, kila mmoja ana chimbuko la kiungu, asili na uwezekano wa kuwa. Kila mmoja wetu ‘ni mwana au binti mpendwa wa kiroho wa wazazi wa mbinguni’ [“Familia: Tangazo kwa Ulimwengu,” ChurchofJesusChrist.org]. Huu ndio utambulisho wetu! Hii ndivyo kweli tulivyo!
