Individual Worth

A couple months ago, my friend, Crystal gave an awesome Relief Society lesson on Individual Worth.  She spoke of how as we get married and raise our families, we can sometimes lose sight of our individual worth.  The Young Women theme and motto were mentioned.  I'm glad that I still have the Young Women theme memorized and that I can teach my own children the importance of these values.        

**The following information is from lds.org:

The Young Women theme helps each young woman understand her identity, purpose, and destiny as a daughter of God. Young women and their leaders repeat the theme during Sunday opening exercises and at other Young Women gatherings. Additional words or themes repeated in conjunction with the theme are not necessary or appropriate.

We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him.

We will "stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things,

and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9) as we strive to live

the Young Women values, which are:

Faith

Divine Nature

Individual Worth

Knowledge

Choice and Accountability

Good Works

Integrity and

Virtue.

We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values,

we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants,

receive the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.

 

Also associated with the Young Women program are a motto and logo. These can be used in lessons and at activities as reminders to the young women to live the gospel standards.


The Young Women motto is “Stand for Truth and Righteousness.”

The Young Women logo is a torch surrounded by the Young Women motto. The torch represents the light of Christ, inviting all to “come unto Christ” (Moroni 10:32). It invites all young women to hold up the light of Christ by keeping His commandments.
