I just watched a great Seminary Video for the Doctrine and Covenants.
In it was shown a prince, taken hostage by this evil man and his servants. As the servants laugh and relish their win, the main man comes up to tell them he has a special plan for this prince. He is going to corrupt him slowly. He will put him in the arena of the richest food, making him a slave to appetite. He will make sure to have him in all the parties, making sure he can hear the filthy language and crude jokes, with all the pleasures he can think of.
The prince is there, but he chooses not to partake of any of their evil designs. When the main man asks why he won’t, the prince stands up with pride and authority, saying, “I cannot do what you ask… for I was born to be a KING!”
President Boyd K. Packer says,
“You are of noble birth—the offspring of the King of Heaven. Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it. However many generations your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written in a single line… You are a child of God.”
I love it.
Hoping you do too,
Mariah
