My Testimony

I am immensely grateful for the incredible blessing of being born a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have been taught and guided my whole life on how to live to be worthy of true happiness. I am grateful for righteous parents who love me and their Father in Heaven. They love me and Him enough to live in such a way that as I grew up I learned from their example how to obey and follow Christ for my own personal salvation.

I learn more and more every day of the truthfulness of the gospel. I love Christ all the more as I come to know Him through study and prayer. He knows who I am better than I know myself. I’m so grateful for His atoning sacrifice that gives everything meaning and makes my way back to my Father in Heaven a possible path to take. I am thankful for the love Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven have for me even though I am almost wholly ignorant of the magnitude of that love.

I'm thankful for my many blessings and opportunities I have been given in my life and hope to glorify God the Father in everything that I do with those opportunities and blessings and everything else that I do in my life. I’m grateful for the testimonies I have earned so far of the doctrines of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the plan of salvation and also testimonies of the true principles of tithing, patience, hard work, modesty, and righteous living. I strive every day to live to be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost that comforts me in times of trial and heartache as well as times of happiness, and who leads and guides me to choose the right. I love my Heavenly Father and His son, my brother, Jesus Christ.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
