It's Still True

I know I haven't been writing here nearly as often as I would like. Nonetheless, I want to put in a quick bit that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is still true. I know it. It's important. I still don't understand everything or even as much as I would like. I find my faith challenged regularly, but out of each challenge, I find that the Lord can teach me, and I come out of it grateful. I know the Gospel is true, and I cannot deny it. Whatever else may hit and whatever else may come as a challenge, I know the Gospel and the Church are true. I have seen and felt things that I can only describe as from God. He is real, and He manifests real power and miracles in and through His church. I have seen miracles. I have felt Him do His work through my feeble hands. I know the Gospel is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I cannot deny this. It is true. Above all, however, I know that God lives and that He loves us. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to return to live with God again. He is my Savior and Redeemer. I know this. It is true. This really is His work, and I am so grateful that he mercifully allows me to be a part of it.
