about Identity Theft. In Primary we learn "I am a child of God." In Young Women we learn, "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us and we love Him." In Relief Society we learn, "We are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purp0se, and direction." This is our identity, the one Satan is forever trying to steal from us. He uses deceit, mocking, comparison, criticism, riches, and many other methods to take this identity from us.
Our identity protection is weakened by disobedience, apathy, ingratitude, and failure to pray. Our best protection is to always remember who we are, where we came from and that we are destined to become a Goddess. Reading our scriptures daily and praying daily are our reminders and will help us through any identity crises that we come up against. Remembering who we are will keep us from being enticed by the party in the 'large and spacious building'. How do we best help those around us who are suffering from identity theft or identity crises?

I think a good way to help others is to first realize and know our own identity as a child of God. Because I grew up in the Gospel I am very familiar with the teachings of our divine nature, but I think that same fact attributes to my taking this knowledge lightly. I don't often ponder, or even think about being a child of God. However, when I feel my most down or stressed it is this thought that can pull me back to my true senses. I can handle it! I am a beloved spirit daughter of my Heavenly Father, He loves me and knows I can succeed. Then maybe I can help others remember that too.
