POSTED BY: jhbart

SUBJECT: MY OWN TESTIMONY
LOCATION: Clarksville, United States
What led me to the Trus Church? Two things...first off I had the feeling we, as converts all have...something was missing.
The other...I found myself on a trip nobody wants to take, the trip downward. I was heading for that certain sort of breakdown that most of us resist, the breakdown of my stubborn self-sufficiency.
Finally I experienced the odd relief of hitting rock bottom, where I made an unexpected discovery: The rock on which I had been thrown was none other than christ Himself. Cast on Him alone, I was in a position to rebuild the rest of my life, this time as a God-dependent person rather than the self-dependent person I had been. My rock-bottom experience became a turning point and one of the most vital spiritual developments of my life.
Most people feel anything but spiritual when they hit bottom. But our Heavenly Father is well-pleased with what He intends to bring out of such a painful process. A person who knows the secret of the God-dependent life can say Psalms:119:71 with firm meaning, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your Statues". I know without a doubt, that the Book of Mormon is true, Joseph Smith is our prophet and Thomas S. Monson is our prophet on earth today. This I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
