Dear Kate: You are a Daughter of God


Dear Kate,

Today I was admiring this lovely picture that your aunt Kiasa recently took of you. I just love this picture, especially the way the wind is blowing your little curls. This picture captures you in all your perfection. And when I look at your gorgeous brown eyes glancing off into the distance there is only one thought that comes to me: that you are a Daughter of God.

I know that right now you know more of heaven than me. But you are going to get older. The veil of the Earth is going to encompass you and you are going to forget. Heaven will seem far away. That's when I need you to remember that you have a divine birthright. You are a spirit daughter of our Heavenly Father. He loves you. He cares for you. He watches over you. And He wants you to return to His kingdom and to claim that birthright.

Stay on the path. Look to the Savior. And don't let anything get in the way of your rights as an heir to the Kingdom of God.

Kate, you are special. And I don't say that because of all the amazing things I know you are going to accomplish. I say that because there is something divine in you. I say that because I can see the Light of Christ in your eyes.

You are so precious to me little girl. But I know that you are most precious to Him.
