Divine Nature

Color: Blue

"I have inherited divine qualities which I will strive to develop."

Scripture
2 Peter 1:4-7: "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperence; and to temperence patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."

(Thanks to David Olson, Stake Director of Libraries, Midvale Utah Union Fort Stake, who compiled these Young Women Resources. He said he found many teachers and leaders were "re-inventing the wheel" in gathering information for lessons and that many were using non-Church approved materials. David, with the help of other librarians, put together this extensive resource index to allow more time to be spent in "spiritual preparation."
