Today I want to just share my testimony about the gospel and how big of an impact it is in my life. I know I should get up in fast and testimony meeting more often, but I really do get stage fright and don't say half the things I want to. Besides, this way I'll have an actual record of it for me.
I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know that he is my brother and that he loves me. He loves me so much that he suffered for me. For my mistakes and my heartache. I am so blessed to have grown up with the gospel as such a big part of my life and as I've grown older my testimony has strengthened through experiences I've had, specifically ones where I've had to rely on the Lord more than anyone else.
I know the Atonement is real. I've felt it's healing powers in my life. I've felt it change my heart when I've let it. It wasn't always easy. In fact, it was almost never easy to do that. But once I would give up my desires and have the attitude that the Lord knows best, I've noticed the change for good it has done to me. I know Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father know me personally, and know my strengths and weaknesses. And they have given me tools and people in my life to help me become a better person, to really help me reach my full potential.
I know Jesus Christ was resurrected and restored to his body so that I can too. So that one day my body will be perfect, and in the meantime, it helps me take better care of the one I have now and to treasure what good it gives me in this life.
I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that through the power of Jesus Christ, he helped restore the gospel on the earth. I am so grateful that he felt inspired at such a young age to pray about what church was right, which led him to help build the kingdom of God on earth.
I know that President Monson is our prophet today, and I respect and love him for all he does for the church and it's members. He truly is inspired by our Heavenly Father and tells us what we need to hear, even if we think we know better.
I know that the teachings of the church are true, and I am grateful to be able to learn more every day.
