Testimony Tuesday:
The gospel of Christ brings so much light and joy into my life. I love that this is the church of being happy and having hope. My favorite thing about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is that it is exactly that: the church of Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is my elder brother, but more than that, He is my savior. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ I know that all mankind can be saved. I know that if each and every one of us (myself included) lived our lives patterned after Christ's, the world would be 180* different. I know that by studying the life and teachings of our Savior, we can be more than happy- we can experience joy. I know that if you pray and ask for it, you will feel a fullness of His love for you. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that loves us too. He cares for us more than we can ever comprehend. I have prayed for and felt these overwhelming feeling many times and each time I am reminded that my nature is divine. One of my favorite things about this gospel is the stressed importance of the divine role of womanhood and motherhood. I am reminded of the Young Women's theme which I hold near and dear to my heart:
We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who love us and we love Him.
We will stand as witnesses of God, in all times, and in all things, and in all places,
as we strive to live the young women values, which are:
Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity
and Virtue
We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values we will be prepared to strengthen home and family, make and keep sacred covenants, receive the ordinances of the temple and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.
I know this gospel is true with every fiber of my being. I know it. I live it. I love it...and I encourage you all to post share your testimonies with others, whether in person or via social media. Your testimony has the power to move and strengthen others!
XOXO,
