Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come -
From God, who is our home.
As members of the LDS church, we know that our life began long before the earth was even created. We are begotten sons and daughters of God and we lived with Him in the eternities before we came to earth. He is our beginning and our end. Our fondest desire is to return to Him with all of those we love.
But sometimes we forget who we are. In the very deepest part of our being we struggle to believe in ourselves, to know our own infinite worth and divine nature. Life has a way of doing that to us. I am always saying that one of the most important things we have to do while we are here is to rediscover who we are. Sometimes in order to do that we just need to let go of everything we think we know and let our spiritual self take the lead. In our heart of hearts we know. We just need to remember.
