My Testimony
I would like to bear my testimony at this time, to pass down
from myself to all of my ancestors. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter day Saints is true. I know that the boy, Joseph smith, restored the
gospel of Jesus Christ in these latter days. I know that he became a prophet of
god. I know that he was preordained to that purpose. I know that the prophets
of the church have passed down the keys from Joseph Smith to our current prophet,
Thomas S. Monson. I know that they would never lead us astray, and that they
receive revelation for the church as a whole.
I know that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God, sent to be the savior of the world. I know that he felt the pain of every person who has ever, or will ever live on the earth. He is the only one who truly knows what it felt like when my dad died. He felt the pain I felt, the hurt of being alone, how I felt abandoned. I know that he felt all that, and when I turned to him in my time of need, he helped me to feel comfort.
I know that my heavenly father loves me. He loves me so much he was willing to sacrifice his son to save me. Heavenly father has a plan for me. He led me to the man who I married- a man that is perfect for me. He knew that this person would compliment me in the best ways possible. My heavenly father has helped me through all of my trials. Without his influence I would not be who I am today.
I know that the power of the priesthood is real. I am so
glad that my husband, Anthony, holds the priesthood and is worthy to use it on
a daily basis. I know that through the power of the priesthood, our God can
bestow upon us the blessings and guidance we need to get through the tough
times in our lives. I know that the healing power of the priesthood is real. I
have seen it, personally, many times.
I know that the temple is the house of God. I have been
there, and I have felt him within. I know that there is no place on earth where
I can find myself closer to my God. I know that as we worship in the temple
regularly, we will be blessed. I am so glad for the power of the sealing keys.
Because of these keys, I know that I can see my father again. I know that he is
sealed to my mother, and that she will be able to see him in the world to come.
I know that I am sealed to my husband, and that we are going to be able to be together for time and
all eternity.
I say again, I know that my redeemer lives. The temple is a
house of God. Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, who sacrificed his own
life to save us, to help us fulfill our purposes on earth and be able to return
to our heavenly father.
I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ ,
Amen.
