My testimony

I know there's no right or wrong way to profess a testimony, but I still find myself struggling for words when asked to bear it. I don't know why I feel this way, because I have a love for Christ that really, really burns inside of me. The scriptures bring me so much joy, and several times when I'm being taught the gospel I find myself sitting completely still and holding my breath because what I'm being told is just true. I know that sounds silly, but how else can I explain the way this gospel makes me feel? I didn't grow up with this, I gained it two years ago when I was exposed to the church and decided to make it a part of my life. I moved away from the life I was used to in order to live this one. Never have I felt so loved, so cherished, so worth something until I understood Christ from this LDS perspective. Christ's simple teaching to "love one another" has also changed my life. When I look at those around me through Christ's eyes, I feel a love for them I would have otherwise considered ridiculously sentimental. When I know and understand his plan, my life takes on a different meaning. Finally, I know and understand why I am here, what I am supposed to do, and how I can do it. It's by his example that I know how to live: not for myself, but for others. I'm so grateful for Christ and what he has done for me, how could I not desire the same for others? How could I not show love for them as well?
