Even just skimming through the many testimonies that have been written so far of Christ, I felt my own testimony grow stronger. One of our favorite scripture masteries in seminary was D&C 76: 22. We loved quoting this scripture and yelling out the last three words with great jubilance, throwing our hands in the air: "And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: THAT HE LIVES!!" I just loved to do that. Sometimes I want to go to a public place and shout it, "HE LIVES!!!" It's one of the greatest things to know. I absolutlely love my Savior. I know I could never get through this life without him. I have a picture of Christ that my Seminary teacher gave me which gives me a lot of comfort. His picture is there and then on the right side, the scripture Isaiah 49:15-16 is quoted,"I will not forget thee. I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." Every time I'm feeling alone, scared, worried, stressed, discouraged, or anything else, I look at that picture and I feel so much better. I know the Lord will be there for me and listen when I need him to. Sometimes when I was younger, and I would wake in the middle of the night from a bad dream, frightened and shaking, I would close my eyes and imagine the Savior sitting right there by my bedside, protecting me from any further scary dreams. That really helped me, and I use it even now. I just imagine him right there, helping me every step. I know he lives and loves me. The Savior loves me more than I can even understand, and I am so grateful to him for giving his life so that I can live with my Father again. I know that Jesus Christ is real, that he loves us, and that he atoned for the sins of this world. I also know that he suffered all our affirmities and afflictions, and therefore, we can go to him with any problem we have, no matter how small or unique to us. He knows how it feels. I love him very very much, and I am so excited to get to see him again at the end of my mortal life.
