My Favorite Scripture

This week, while I was doing my daily reading in the Book of Mormon, I stumbled on a scripture that just makes me smile every time I read it. It truly is my favorite scripture. It comes from Alma chapter 18 where Ammon is teaching King Lamoni about God, who He is and what He does. When explaining to King Lamoni, someone who has never heard of God, who He is, Ammon said,

"He looketh down upon all the children of men;

and he knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart;

for by his hand were they all created from the beginning."

Ugh, it's so beautiful. In one statement, Ammon teaches King Lamoni that someone knows and understands him perfectly, and not only that, He also created him. This scripture brought me so much comfort when I was in high school and I was struggling with finding my own identity. It gave me a feeling of divine worth and divine identity, and I imagine it did the same for King Lamoni. It can also do the same for you. 

When you are feeling low, or struggling because you don't feel good enough, remember this: HEAVENLY FATHER CREATED YOU AND HE KNOWS YOU!!! You are divine because you were created by the divine. You are worth more than you will ever know. 

Trust God, feel His love, and live a good life because life is good.
