His Child, His Love, His Life

I was reading my friend's blog today and I really appreciated what she had to say. To read the whole post click here. I recommend reading it :)  (The post isn't titled so scroll down for her "March 3, 2011" post)

She talked about being a child of God and feeling of the love He has for us. And that He loves all. I recently had an experience where I felt such love. Such overwhelming, almost felt unworthy of it love. It's hard to sometimes revert back to the simplicity of the gospel. The simplicity of being a Child of God. And yet there is so much more depth to that statement then we will ever know. But because we are a His children, we are loved by Him.

Lesson Learned:
"Then. Then I remembered a tangible concept taught in a recent Relief Society activity. The speaker discussed how the worth of a painting is based upon the price a buyer will pay for it. A mother may pay a huge sum of money for her child's finger painting, because it is her child. An art collector may pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for an original DaVinci, because to the art collector it is worth that money. The same goes for me, as an individual for whom the Atonement was completed. Because Heavenly Father paid the price of His only Begotten son for me, I am worth something to Him. Because I am His child, my finger painting is worth the price of His Son."
