While in Relief Society the other day, they were teaching us about modesty, a hot topic among the young single adult women crowd. I couldn't help but think the same question over and over again. What does this "immodesty" problem boil down to? What am I really? What is woman?!
One girl answered: We are daughters of God.
Yes, yes we are.
But that question dominated my thoughts for weeks. There must be than that. What does it mean to be a woman of God?
What is woman?
WHAT IS WOMAN?
Then today, while cooking up a bit of noodles and chicken, i discovered that I've been asking the wrong question all along.
I'm a daughter of God, yes.
But...What is God?
Worry not, my dear posterity. I'm not doubting the existence of Him. I know He lives and watches oever me, but what is He?
A glorified man? Yes.
The Creator. Father of the Son. Alfa. Omega. Beginning. End. The Great I Am.
Yes, yes, yes.
But why is He all those things?
It's because He's a parent.
All of that so that we would choose Him, our Father.
And thus we look around ourselves. A world full of selfish, immature, rebelious kids. Ones that, no matter how hard He tries, will never listen. Like the tantrum-filled sixteen year old who refuses to stop doing drugs while the loving Father tells him no.
And now, my next question:
What is daughter?
