Remember Who You Are!!!!



   
     Elaine S. Dalton
Young Women President

"Young women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, remember who you are! You are elect. You are daughters of God. You cannot be a generation of young women who are content to fit in. You must have the courage to stand out, to “'arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations.'” 10  The world would have you believe that you are not significant—that you are out of fashion and out of touch. The world calls to you with unrelenting, noisy voices to “live it up,” “try everything,” “experiment and be happy.” Conversely, the Holy Ghost whispers and the Lord invites you to “walk in the paths of virtue,” “lay aside the things of this world,” “and cleave unto [your] covenants.” 11


We have been taught that “the gift of the Holy Ghost quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features. 16  Now, that is a great beauty secret! "

I love this talk!! What she says is absolute truth. I know that true beauty that never fades comes from being virtuous. This will never change, and it is the biggest beauty secret there is!




 I know that all that she has said is true. Deep beauty truly comes from being virtuous and chaste. It comes from having the spirit shine from within. I strive to have the spirit this way so I can have the beauty that truly matters and never fades.
