True Identity

This first week of my class Christ the everlasting Gospel we learned about identities. Not your usual height, weight, address but spiritual identities. One of the scripture quotes I liked the most was from Moses: "And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years... And, behold, thou art my son" (Moses 1:3-4) The other verses tell even more of God's identity. God's words and works are without end. After reading about God's own identity it is amazing that we are literally his children. As insignificant as we are compared to God, we are still His children. Upon studying this and re-reading it after class it really struck me that I am in fact His son. I was filled with awe but also humbled that God the most powerful of all is my father and He loves and cares for me. Word's cannot fully express how that feels. Yet, it's not a feeling of empowerment, moreover, of gratitude and reverence. I am a child of God and though my needs are great I know that if I do His will I'll return to live with Him someday.
