Heavenly Father loves his daughters. From the beginning of time he has placed significant trust in them. But where much is given, much is required. God asks women to live righteously.
Women have some qualities in extra capacity. Femininity — which finds expression in sensitivity, creativity, graciousness and quiet strength — is part of a woman's inner beauty.
"Our outward appearance is a reflection of what we are inside. Our lives reflect that for which we seek."
Women who are grateful to be a daughter of God understand the stewardship they have over their bodies and treat them with dignity. They care for their bodies as a holy temple.
"Grateful daughters of God guard their bodies carefully for they know they are the wellspring of life and they reverence life. They don't uncover their bodies to find favor with the world. They walk in modesty to be in favor with their Father In Heaven. They know he loves them dearly."
You can also recognize women who are grateful to be daughters of God by their attitudes, their abilities, and their reverence for motherhood, "even when that blessing has been withheld from them for a time. In those circumstances, their righteous influence can be a blessing in the lives of children they love. Their exemplary teaching can echo the voice of a faithful home and resonate truth in the hearts of children who need another witness."
