My Testimony of the Church |

I'd like to take the opportunity given by this forum to share my testimony not only of the church, but of the spirit. I was raised in the church by goodly parents, similar to the way Nephi was raised. Through a strong desire to seek out the truth about the gospel, the Lord has led me by the hand and helped me to realize such glorious things and grow spiritually.
I have been given so many blessings. I have been given spiritual eyes where I can realize temptation in it's raw form and many of Satan's other attractive lures. I have had the opportunity to realize what true happiness is, and not what man depicts it to be. I have been blessed with great friends, family, and leaders around me who influence me and build me up, every day. The church has built a foundation in my life that has helped me to stand in places where I can experience true happiness, and I know this is because of Heavenly Father.
I have a very strong relationship with the Spirit, and it has brought this stiff hockey player to tears in spiritual realizations. It has led me through life and encouraged me to do the right thing. The still small voice has grown louder, and as it continues to grow, I find that life continues to work for the better. The way my Savior would want my life to be, for me. There is no chemical imbalance, no condition in the body, no medical deformity that exists that can deny the feeling of truth the Spirit gives me when I stand in holy places. I know that this church and this gospel are true with all my heart.
In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
