More than Enough: Inspiring Messages for Women
Heavenly Father loves us, and He has incredible promises in store for us. Through scripture, He has assured us that we “are that [we] might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25); that as His children, we can “receive all that [the] Fath hath” (D&C 84:38); and that through obedience, we will obtain a “fulness of joy; and . . . sit down in the kingdom of [the] Father” (3 Nephi 28:10).
These are marvelous truth. However, when we think about all that we’re meant to do and become to be worthy of receiving these blessings, we may sometimes feel like we’re not living up to God’s expectations for us. We may even think we’re the only ones who feel that way—certainly our friends and family have it figured out, even if we don’t.
This book is a collection of thoughts on our divine nature and destiny from women of diverse walks of life. In it, you will find stories of hope and strategies for healing, reminding us that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us perfectly as we are. In our trials, in our difficulties, in our weakness—and through the grace of God—we are more than enough.

There are some wonderful talks and thoughts here about knowing our divine identity and our Heavenly Father's love. Here are some of my favorites:
Laurel C. Day
"'I'm not nice enough to be a Relief Society president!' (p. 2)"
"If the Lord created me and if He loves me (both of which I believe to be true), then that lack of 'enough-ness' is nothing for me to feel overwhelmed by or ashamed of (p. 2)."
"I never found myself relating to so many of the things I heard women say about 'not being enough.' (There is something oddly nice about only comparing yourself to the kind of mom you're pretty sure you would have been but don't ever have to find out you weren't.) (p. 3)."
"What's your 'thing' that makes you feel most 'not enough'? Chances are it has come to you quickly. Now--can I share the awful truth? We. Aren't. Enough. We simply aren't enough for all the needs of our family. We aren't enough for the people we've been called to serve. I think it's safe to say we weren't enough for any of the things we've been put here on this earth to do... We. Are. Not. Enough. If we try to do any of these things on our own, without the Savior... And so these feelings of 'not enough' are both normal and a gift (p. 4)."
"'That one thing you're doing is needful, Martha... You are worried about so many things, but just focus on one' (p. 6)."
"'There is no way the Church can honestly describe where we must yet go and what we must yet do without creating a sense of immense distance... This is a gospel of grand expectations' (Neal A. Maxwell, p. 7)."
"Comparing ourselves and our lives and our abilities to others, both real and perceived, is one way these feelings of inadequacy are 'normal' (p. 7)."
"'Please don't nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Do not set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. Simply do what you can do, in the best way you know, and the Lord will accept of your effort' (Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 9)."
"'Each of us, if we are honest, feels a gap between where and who we are, and where and who we want to become. We yearn for greater personal capacity. We have these feelings because we are daughters and sons of God, born with the Light of Christ yet living in a fallen world. These feelings are God-given and create an urgency to act' (Michelle D. Craig, p. 9)."
"God is trying to do something for me and He is striving my heart to become something more (p. 10)."
"'Are you moving closer to me?... Then that is enough.'... The truth is that the space between our mortal inadequacy and His call for our lives can and WILL be filled. He makes it ENOUGH (p. 13)."
"When we are in partnership with the Lord--when we are responding to the call He has extended to us to serve and teach and lead and even to change, the stuff we have is sufficient and too much (p. 13)."
"'The good news of the gospel is that with the grace of God, we are enough. With Christ's help, we can do all things' (Michelle D. Craig, p. 14)."
Bonnie Cordon, Michelle Craig, and Becky Craven
"I wish that each of us had such a knowledge of our divine identity (p. 18)."
"Understanding our divine heritage gives us strength to prevail over the adversary and sustain us through the challenges of life. It gives us an eternal perspective (p. 19)."
"I am learning that the Lord is more concerned with my growth as a disciple than He is about my comfort. I don't know about you, but I really like my comfort zone (p. 21)!"
"'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another' (John 13:35). Even if we are weak and flawed, this is a path open to all disciples (p. 21)."
"As disciples of Jesus Christ, we know that we are loved, and we know that sometimes it's okay to feel broken, because we worship One who will make us whole. Jesus Christ heals broken things. We are all broken in some way... hearts... dreams... bodies... minds... and that's okay. Jesus Christ welcomes us in our brokenness and in our desire to become His disciples (p. 22)."
"There is a comforting power that comes as we understand our identity and purpose as covenant women of God (p. 23)."
"We may personally feel like we are under construction... but your light is still shining! Our source of light, our Savior, is unwavering! (p. 24)"
"'Your eyes said it all.'... Perhaps this is, in part, what is meant by the sacred promise to 'always remember Him.' Reflecting the love of our Savior not only through our words, but our eyes. Witnessing includes how we see people, treat them, and help them (p. 26)."
Rosemary Thackeray
"Do we know Him?... 'A grand objective of mortality is not merely learning about the Only Begotten of the Father but also striving to know Him' (David A. Bednar).... I invite all of us to consider what we can do to know the Savior better than we do today (p. 32)."
"God hears us when we pray. The question for us is--do we hear and know the Good Shepherd's voice (p. 33)?"
"As we increase our capacity to hear Jesus Christ's voice, we are able to receive promptings for how we can best serve others (p. 34)."
"The Savior sees us. How often do we look for Jesus in our life (p. 37)?"
"'We need you!... We need your strength, your conversion, your conviction, your ability to lead, your wisdom, and your voices' (Russell M. Nelson, p. 39)."
Emily Belle Freeman and Rio Grange
"I have come to know Jesus Christ through innumerable, small, and consistent conversations over the course of my life. Isn't that how most deep relationships are established, through a million little things (p. 41)?"
"One of my favorite ways to read the Old and New Testament is to look for and learn from each individual's encounter with Jesus Christ. These were personal encounters, one on one. He met each person where they were, as they were, and offered His gift of grace (p. 42)."
"The best way to understand the gift of the Savior's Atonement is to personally experience it... Feel this, He said. Touch it. Experience the sacrifice, so you will know (p. 43)."
"Sometimes we think the cost of grace is all our living, but perhaps, in reality, it is all of His (p. 52)."
"I love understanding that falling short is not only natural but essential to our journey in mortality. I believe it is our falling short that causes us to yearn for a relationship with Jesus Christ (p. 54)."
Rhea Maynes
"People who try to make the perfect decision every time tend to suffer more anxiety about their decisions, feel less satisfied with them afterward, and unsurprisingly, are less productive (p. 56)."
"Whether you have an exact destination in mind... or are setting aside time to explore, always be mindful of where it may lead you and how it will benefit you today and tomorrow (p. 57)."
"You are not a failure. It is often by missteps that we learn some of the most valuable lessons and become better versions of ourselves (p. 59)."
Angela Ahn
"Embracing the unknown with faith-filled flexibility and hopeful adaptability can provide stability in an ever-changing life (p. 65)."
"I didn't have faith in Jesus Christ and His grace, mercy, and saving power. What I was doing was having faith in ME and trying to save myself, and woefully drowning as a result (p. 66)."
"I had a total misunderstanding of God's character, perfections, and attributes... I didn't see the Savior as a loving, merciful, kind God. I saw Him as someone to fear. This was the first massively erroneous thought that needed to be changed (p. 66)."
"One of the greatest blessings I have witnessed from keeping my body healthy through exercise, nutrition, rest, and personal hygiene is the ability to have the Spirit with me more strongly. This is an invaluable gift (p. 70)."
"Although Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel had all gone through the same experiences, they had very different narratives. Instead of recognizing God's goodness in blessing and preserving their lives, Laman and Lemuel had chosen the perspective of constantly being wronged and robbed, and thus they were wroth. This was because instead of like Nephi, who had knowledge of the Lord, Laman and Lemuel understood not the dealings of the Lord (p. 75)."
"As we use our faith in Jesus Christ to override our fears, develop the skills necessary to deal with change through emotional resiliency, and reorient our perspectives with gratitude, we can not only endure, but find joy in the life we have been given (p. 76)."
Carol McConkie
"I testify that individually and independently, regardless of your circumstances, God is there. He knows you and He loves you (p. 79)."
"Please believe that the majesty and glory of our Father's plan of happiness is for you and His love for you is boundless... Believe you are a daughter of God... Believe you have a Savior, Jesus Christ... Believe that you have work to do... Believe you can return to Him (p. 80)."
"Whether our opportunities and experiences include a mission, marriage, a career, children or not, we choose righteousness and measure the value of our lives with an eternal perspective (p. 83)."
Amy A. Wright
"We can do the best things in the worst times! If we are wise and turn to the Savior, out of every tragedy, every trial, every heartache, every single disappointment comes opportunities for priceless education and spiritual growth (p. 88)."
"We come to know Christ when we withhold judgment from one another (p. 92)."
"We come to know Christ when our focus is less about ourselves and more about others (p. 95)."
"We come to know Christ when we have the courage to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost (p. 96)."
Michelle D. Craig
"You have a divine nature and a loving Heavenly Father. He has given you a purpose and errand uniquely suited to you (p. 100)."
"Joy in our journey comes not only as we anticipate our reunion with loving Heavenly Parents and those we have loved in life, but also when we have eyes to see and ears to hear the beauty and goodness of our everyday circumstances--even when those circumstances may be challenging (p. 102)."
"Is any price too high for the blessing of 'becoming acquainted' with God (p. 103)?"
"Would we choose the trials that send us to our knees? Maybe not--but would we trade the spiritual growth and understanding of God's love that comes as a result (p. 104)?"
"It is my prayer that each of us can keep our focus on the joy that is set before us, on the joy that is found in our testimonies of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (p. 107)."
Kathy Christofferson
"I do have a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and the Restoration of His true Church in these latter days. But reflecting on the past, I realized that my testimony didn't come with one stunning event or miracle. It came by small whisperings of the Spirit. It came line upon line and precept upon precept as I heeded the words of modern prophets, studied the scriptures, followed worthy examples, and tried to apply gospel principles in my life. I haven't been perfect in these endeavors, but I have seen the hand of the Lord in my life and count that a great blessing (p. 110)."
"While it is incredible that small drops of rain can move gigantic ships through the Panama Canal, it is even more incredible that we can receive a constant flow of spiritual impressions, even outpourings, from a Heavenly Father who is ever mindful of us. I have found that it isn't in great miracles that a testimony is kept vibrant, but in the small day-to-day affirmations and directions we receive from heaven as we strive to come unto our Savior, keep His commandments, and 'be about [our] Father's business' (p. 111)."
"We show gratitude to our Father in Heaven when we actually note in writing those blessings we have received (p. 111)."
"When we pray, do we have the courage to ask the Lord, 'What I yet?' (p. 112)"
"Prompt obedience to such impressions is such a small thing, but it will bring increased ability to hear and follow further promptings from the Holy Ghost (p. 113)."
"I've read the Book of Mormon several times, but when I finished reading the Book of Mormon that time, I found how much richer my relationship with our Savior had become by focusing on Him (p. 113)."
"I know that as we strive to stay consistently faithful even in small things, they will flow together to strengthen us spiritually in remarkable ways. As we look back, we will indeed see the hand of the Lord reaching down to bless us in a constant and marvelous manner (p. 116)."
Susan Porter
"When sorrow and tragedy come to us, we fall to our knees pleading for help. Sometimes our circumstances do not change. Sometimes it is a challenge to see the Lord's hand in our lives. Sometimes we are aware of that help, and other times we just soldier on, not realizing that it is by His power that we have the strength to carry on (p. 119)."
"I bear my witness that God, our Heavenly Father, is with us. Even when we can't feel His presence, He is there (p. 120)."
Sheri Dew
"I recently witnessed our prophet giving a unique kind of inspired direction... Among other things, we discussed the possibility of President Nelson recording a message of hope for members... the very next day, President Nelson asked to meet with us again. He told us our idea wasn't bad; it just wasn't right. During the night he had received direction that he did indeed need to record a message--but for the world, not just for Church members. The message was to be about expressing gratitude to God and should include a prayer for the world. He told us the day and time the video should be released and even how long his message should be. As he spoke, I knew I was having the rare privilege of witnessing a prophet act on revelation he had received (p. 130)."
Tracy Browning
"President Russell M. Nelson's 2018 plea to the Church to 'increase our spiritual capacity to receive revelation' and to 'choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost, and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly' has created an opportunity for me to examine what that spiritual work is that I could do to enlarge, to make more room, and to expand my spiritual capacity to recognize and receive the maximum amount of divine guidance possible in my life (p. 156)."
"I will be eternally grateful for the ways that God reveals Himself and His intimate and individual love for me and for you (p. 143)."
"God desires for us to build our trust and confidence in Him, and that can be demonstrated in our faithful actions even when the path is not fully illuminated (p. 144)."
"God's messages can continue to unfold over time, giving fuller and richer expression to each preceding message (p. 146)."
Camille Johnson
"My efforts, though imperfect, were sufficient because I was practicing (p. 148)."
"Sariah was practicing. She was practicing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and patience and long-suffering. She was practicing perfection (p. 149)."
"Perfection, mortal and eternal, is our objective. Practice makes perfect with the Savior. He makes all the difference (p. 151)."
"I testify that the Lord loves you and wants you to return home. Perfection is pending in Him and with Him (p. 151)."

I loved this reminder from amazing women I've looked up to for years of my divine nature and destiny. They have unique insights and experiences that inspire me to do my best every day and rely on the Savior.

This book has inspiring messages from 14 different women in the Church for women. It's short but very good reminders of what we should be doing to draw closer to God and to know we are "more than enough" and can "be worthy of receiving our Heavenly Father's promised blessings."

I loved this little collection of essays based mostly on BYU Women's Conference talks. Thinking I might buy one or two copies to share with loved ones.
