You are divine.

Last Sunday I taught all the Young Women on knowing that you are divine and eternal. As I was preparing the week before, I ran parts of the lesson past Keith and asked for he's opinion. He's first remark was, "Why are the Young Women and Relief Society always having lessons on how divine they are? The Young Men and Priesthood don't have lessons on that. They only have lessons on how divine the women are." So there you have it.
That made me think about something I had always known but that comment really brought it home for me. The Lord knows that women are constantly bombarded with self-esteem issues (looks, talents, physical body image, etc.) And it's not just the Young Women, we as mother get it to through our domestic and mothering skills or lack there of. Therefore, Satan hits us with everything he can, knowing that women are vulnerable to depression, insecurity, and even sin due to not understanding their divine worth. So it makes sense that Young Women and Relief Society alike are continually needing to be reminded of our divine worth. So to all my sisters out there, know that you are divine.

Here's a few of my favorite quotes that I used in my lesson.
President Gordon B. Hinckley:

“There is something of divinity within each of you. You have such tremendous potential with that quality as a part of your inherited nature. Every one of you was endowed by your Father in Heaven with a tremendous capacity to do good in the world. Train your minds and your hands that you may be equipped to serve well in the society of which you are a part. Cultivate the art of being kind, of being thoughtful, of being helpful. Refine within you the quality of mercy which comes as a part of the divine attributes you have inherited”
(“The Light within You,” Ensign, May 1995, 99).

President James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency:

“A conviction that you are a daughter of God gives you a feeling of comfort in your self-worth. It means that you can find strength in the balm of Christ. It will help you meet the heartaches and challenges with faith and serenity. … A woman can and must have an identity and feel useful, valued, and needed whether she is single or married. She must feel that she can do something for someone else that no one else ever born can do”
(“What It Means to Be a Daughter of God,” Liahona, Jan. 2000, 123–24; Ensign, Nov. 1999, 102).
