"One of life's great questions is "Who am I?" A beloved Primary song helps even little children answer this question. We sing, "I am a child of God, and he has sent me here." The knowledge that we are children of God provides strength, comfort, and hope.

You are a literal child of God, spiritually begotten in the premortal life. As His child, you can be assured that you have divine, eternal potential and that He will help you in your sincere efforts to reach that potential."

I love thinking about how my knowledge that I am a child of God provides strength, comfort, and hope. It is so true. The part about divine eternal potential reminds me of the Young Women value, Divine Nature. How wonderful to help the children at this early age better understand who they are and what they can become!

"...the most High means Heavenly Father. Emphasize that every person on the earth is a child of Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father knows us and loves us. ...Heavenly Father is the father of our spirits, so we can grow to be like him.

Heavenly Father has important work for us to do.

...Explain that Heavenly Father is the king of heaven and earth. Because we are his children, we are princes and princesses. Make a simple crown for each child and write the words I am a child of God on each crown. Let the children color the crown."

We are also planning to do our smaller wall with a giant rainbow with a picture of Jesus Christ and children underneath. We will put small clouds all around the rainbow with pictures of each child inside the clouds. A banner at the bottom of the picture of Jesus and the children will read, "I am a child of God". Purchase the vinyl scripture here.
