Do You Know?

Even though it has been a while since my last post, it seems that I have had the same kinds of things on my mind.  Who are we?  Or maybe it's because the same kinds of things need to to be shared by me.  Only God knows that.  Nevertheless, I felt prompted to share a poem that I wrote  on this subject. (that I actually have made into a song) :

Do You Know?
By Sarah Eggett

1.      You are a child of God
With infinite worth
You have a father in heaven
That helps you here on earth
You can see His blessings
Given to you each day
He gave His Son to die
A debt you could not pay

(Chorus) (Repeated)
Do you know who you are?
Do you know of His love?
Do you know what He’s given for your salvation above?

2.      Your potential is boundless
You need to tap in
Your heart is open and willing
For the spirit to win
You realize that love
Can heal your broken heart
His Atonement for all
Is His infinite part

(Chorus) (Repeated)
Do you know who you are?
Do you know of His love?
Do you know what He’s given for your salvation above?

1.      You are heir to His Kingdom
The blessings await
Peace, endless joy and happiness
Will be your blissful fate
Your desire to have
The gifts He wants to give
Daily grows in your heart
As you know that He lives

(Chorus) (Repeated)
Do you know who you are?
Do you know of His love?
Do you know what He’s given for your salvation above?

My simple testimony is that we are God's children and that HE loves us with an infinite love.  He gave His son to die so we can live.  The closer that we get to God, the more we know who we are and what our specific purpose is in this life.  God has a plan for each of us, we just need to seek His help in finding it.  My invitation to all is to find out who you are through God's perspective--in the eternal scheme of things.  I promise, it will astound you.  I love my Savior and I know that He loves me.  I am grateful for the sure knowledge that I have of who I am and what my purpose is.
