This is a disclaimer before I actually start going into what I wanted to say tonight. For those of you not accociated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I invite you to continue reading as this will be my testimony in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Though I would love all to read this there are those who choose not to or do not feel comfortable at this time, and for those of you who have read my first post know the details behind this. Basically if you don't want to read then don't and wait for my next post. Ok! For those of you moving on I bear to you my testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
As most of you know already today was fast and testimony meetings. Basically in the first hour of church the congregation has the opportunity to come up and bear their testimony of what they know to be true, and for those of you reading this that already heard me today there may be some similarities between there and here. ok! NOW here we go
I bear to you my brothers and sisters my testimony that I know God lives! He is our loving heavenly father and personally knows and hears each and every one of us. I know Christ lives and is our savior. I understand the power in the atonement, and know that everything will be alright in the end as long I strive to do my best everyday. I knwo that I am a child of God. It amazes me how many people out there don't know that. Don't know that they are loved by an eternal heavenly father and are his son or daughter. I know that I can be with my family forever. On the 23rd of this month lies the aniversary of the death of my father. His testimony will always be with me as well as his dedication to this church and his fellow men around him. Knowing that I will be with him once more strengthens my testimony in eternal families even more. I know that this church is true. I know God listens to my prayers as well as yours, for you are children of our heavenly father. I knwo the Book of Mormon to be scripture and to be the word of God. I know Joseph Smith was and is a true prophet of God and knwo that Thomas S Monson is our prophet today. There have been times in my life where I question WHY I know these are true, and even IF I do! At those times I begin to pray. I pray for guidance and help as I continually strive to keep the testimony that I have in this church. There have been times where I questioned if God was even there in which case I talked to the wall and told it my problems, knowing even a little bit that someone could hear me and would tell me that they could. I know there is a reason I am on this earth. I know not what the one reason is or if there is only one, but I know there is a plan for me, and in the end I can be with my family. Again I bear to you my testimony of this church, I know it to be the true church of God. I know this because I prayed and asked. I know God listens and loves me. I bear you this testimony in the name of our savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
Thanks for reading my testimony, I thought it would be nice to write it down for all to see. I can't think of a question for you all for this post so I'll just leave you to your scribbles and hope you have a great one!
