I Believe in Christ


I believe in Christ.  I know he knows each of us individually.  He knows our struggles, our weaknesses, and what makes us sad and happy.  He loves every single person on this earth.  He pleads for each of us to follow Him so we can be with him again.  He grieves when we fall off the path.  I know that the Lord asks us to walk with Him.  I know when we listen to our prophet, and diligently obey, we walk with the Lord.  I know we have a living and true prophet with us here today.  He will never lead us astray.  Our world can be confusing and hard, but I know that if we ever have doubts or questions, the right answer is to follow the prophet.  If we follow the prophet, we will be guided to where we need to be, and the right thing will happen.  I know that families can be eternal.  I know that when a family member dies here, we can see and be with them again!  I have a strong testimony and respect for Joseph Smith.  He knew the church was true, and went through so much to be an instrument in restoring the gospel on the earth again.  I am so grateful for having the truth in my life.  The gospel gives me comfort, understanding, strength, and assurance.  I love Heavenly Father so much and know that if I live righteously, I will be able to return to Him.  I love Jesus Christ.  He has done so much for me personally, just like he has for everyone else.  I feel his love daily, and know that I will also get to see him again if I live righteously and endure to the end.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
