Everything we do as YW leaders should be to invite our Young Women to “Come unto Christ”. That might be through feeling His love and learning how to love; learning His attributes through the YW values; learning to serve as He did; learning to feel His spirit through the scriptures and prayer.
What is our purpose as Young Women leaders? I believe it is to invite our Young Women to come unto Christ - to help them receive the truths of the restored gospel including: faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, enjoying the Spirit of the Holy Ghost through obedience and righteous living, to be valiant and righteous servants of God, so they can make and keep sacred covenants in the temple and receive God’s greatest blessings for them...exaltation
Sister Dibb said, “an important part of the Personal Progress program is that it invites young women to go to the scriptures and study value-related topics such as faith and integrity...We hope that their testimony grows in that respect and that they feel the Spirit."
We have a responsibility to help each daughter of God to understand why we teach what we do so they will be able to fulfill their divine potential. Our calling is to bless the lives of each of these YW and help them grow in faith and gain their own testimonies. May everything we do point the girls towards our Savior, Jesus Christ and his teachings.
Let’s not get so caught up in the minute details that we forget to focus on our purpose.
May the Lord bless you as you help the Young Women find their testimonies and their love of the Savior.
