Testimony Time



I just want to take a second and write out my testimony. I think it is super important to write what we believe in and I hope one day my kids will read this and know without a doubt that I love the gospel. If you have any questions feel free to ask me or go take a look at lds.org :)

I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is the true gospel. I know it is the only thing that brings true joy. Our Father in Heaven has blessed us to have the gospel on this earth. It has blessed me in so many ways, it would take me a lifetime to write them all down. This gospel is the true definition of love. Jesus Christ is the PERFECT example of PERFECT love. I cannot fully comprehend the amount of love that man has for me. He came to this earth for me, for you, and for everyone. He suffered and died for us. Willingly. That is so incredible. I know He knows how I am feeling. Sometimes when I am suffering I can feel His heart bond with mine because He knows the pain I am feeling. I know my Father in Heaven is in control. He knows what He is doing and He has a plan. He has a plan for me, for every person, and for this earth. I owe my life to Him, for He is the one that gave me the opportunity to live. He gave me my amazing family to be with. He blessed with the true gospel in my life from my first day on this earth. He blessed me with amazing parents, siblings, friends, and role models.
I know the Book of Mormon is true. It was written so long ago but it was written for our time. It is the iron rod for our lives. The truth is literally in my pocket at all times. I love the Book of Mormon and I know it is accurate.
I know Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the gospel. He could not have done what he did without being guided by angels and by The Father. He went through so much pain and agony so that we could have the true gospel and the Book of Mormon here today. What an amazing man. I know that President Monson is called of God to lead our church in the right direction. I believe He receives revelation for the church that no one else can receive.
I know that our Savior loves us. there is not a time where He will turn us away if we call for him. I know He lives and will come to this earth again. I love Christ and Heavenly Father with everything in me.
