The value Divine Nature is an important one for the young women to fully grasp. It is important to help the young women truly understand that they are children of God. It is also important for them to understand their purpose here on Earth. As young women’s leaders you may want to plan activities that are based on helping your young women realize their divine nature and what it truly means.
Several of the experiences talk about the role of mother. You can review the Family Proclamation with your young women one night and speak about the blessings of being a mother. You may also want a young mother, a mother of older girls and a grandmother come and speak about the blessings of being a mother.
Another aspect of many of the value experiences is developing the divine characteristics mentioned in the scripture. You may want to have a panel discussion about these characteristics. You may also have a night in which you assign each young woman to give a three to five minute talk on developing a specific characteristic.
Additionally it is important that the young women feel the confidence that comes with realizing that they are children of God. In a world where that belief is being scoffed at more and more, and with so many conflicting media images you may simply want to focus on building self worth. You may a have fireside on this topic.
Additionally you may want to talk about the Atonement and the Sacrament at a fireside to help the young women understand the sacrifice that the Savior made, and the sacredness of the Sacrament. Another great way to teach this topic is to have your young women serve others. This helps them to look at themselves and others in a different light. It can make a big difference in their understanding of divine nature.
