We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us anad we love Him. We will "stand as witnesses of God at all times, and in all things, and in all places"* as we strive to live the YW values, which are Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountibility, 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, recieve the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
(*Mosiah 18:9)
This is the YW's Theme, that the most LDS Young Women say before their classes. It is a very powerful thing. Thomas S Monson said "My young friends, believe in the words you say each week as you recite the Young Women theme. Think about the meaning of those words. There is truth there. Strive always to live the values which are set forth. ... These are beautiful gospel truths, and by following them, you will be happier throughout your life here and hereafter than you will be if you disregard them"
I think that this theme can be a great tool for teenage girls, as well as adult women. It boosts your esteem (We are Daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us...) It tells us how to show our love for him (We will stand as witnesses of God... as we strive to live (with) Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountibility, Good Works, Integrity, and Virtue.) And it tells you how He'll bless you for showing your love for Him (we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, recieve the ordinances of the temple, and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.)
When young women memorize this, I think that they don't think about it very much. I think that we take it for granted. But it is an AMAZING thing that we are saying!
Here is a video showing a girl who lives this theme:
I believe that the YW's theme can help us through life, and can serve as a map for an easier road.
