“These are
challenging times. I believe your spirits may have been reserved for these
latter days; that you, like Esther, have come to earth “for such a time as
this.” It may be that your most significant, everlasting achievements will be
your righteous influence on others, that your divine feminine inner beauty and
intuition will find expression in your quiet strength, gentleness, dignity,
charm, graciousness, creativity, sensitivity, radiance, and spirituality.
Enhance these sublime feminine gifts. They will make you appealing and even
irresistible as you serve others as the handmaidens of God” ("The Virtues of the Righteous Daughters of God, Ensign, May 2003, 111).
