But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The more I have come to internalize what it means to truly be a child of God the more courageous I have become in my life. The more capable I feel, the more willing I am to stand for what&#8217;s right, and the less I fear the times I must stand alone. Because what I&#8217;ve come to realize is that we are never alone. We have a Father in Heaven who is there for us always. He&#8217;s always available to talk to. He&#8217;s always ready and willing to take us back with open arms regardless of what we&#8217;ve done in the past or how far away from Him we may have gotten. He knows and sees every ounce of our potential and He wants nothing more than to see us achieve it. He is there to help us succeed, not just in this life, but eternally. He loves us&#8230;unconditionally&#8230;because we are literally His child.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remember that single line&#8230;YOU are a child of God.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>~Amy Rees Anderson (author of the book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Awesome-Looks-Like-Business\/dp\/1946633763\">What Awesome Looks Like: How To Excel in Business &amp; Life<\/a>\u201d ) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHowever many generations in your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line.
