My Testimony...I would be completely lost without it. How can people live without this knowledge?!

I am not really sure why I deleted this in the first place...I guess I kind of felt weird for putting it on here for everyone to see, but then I thought about it...
Am I ashamed of my Testimony? ---NO WAY!! I really want all of you to know that I know this Gospel is true. It's true, All of it! I know it is!! That's the beauty of a Testimony, nobody can argue with what you know to be true. Isn't that so wonderful!?

ENJOY!

My Testimony

I want all of you to know that I have a testimony of this gospel. I know this is the true church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, the only true church upon the earth. It was restored by a loving prophet called of God. Joseph Smith truly did see God the Father and His son Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove and they spoke to him. Through mobs, persecutions, joy, and sorrow Joseph was faithful and restored the true and everlasting gospel to this earth for us today. I love the Book of Mormon. There is a power in this wonderful book beyond description. It is true, all of it!
The Book of Mormon was written for our day, for our benefit. Reading the words of the prophets on a daily basis will never fail to bring joy into our lives. Through fasting, prayer, and scripture study each and every one of us can be inspired as to what the Savior’s plan for us may be and how we can achieve it. There is a plan and we are a part of it. Yes, we have come to this earth to be tested and tried but we shall not fear, for the Lord is with us. Satan seeks to make us all miserable and he will continue to but we must never for one moment fall into that trap of thinking of ourselves as less than we are: Children of God. We are children of God with divine potential. We have been saved for these last days to withstand temptations which have never been so difficult but we are strong and will accomplish all the Lord has for us to do.
While on this earth we are never alone. We may have different hobbies, talents, friends, and circumstances but the Lord loves us and has sent us a way to return to Him: the atonement. This powerful gift has been given to all of God’s children and we must use it to return to Him and receive eternal joy. Our Heavenly Father sent His son, and our brother, Jesus Christ to this earth to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, he endured all things – sins, pains, sicknesses, trials, worries, sorrows – he knows exactly how to help us. He hears our prayers; he knows our thoughts; he feels our pains; he glories in our joy; he wants us to return to him. His unconditional love surrounds us always but he wants us to feel the eternal joy He has for us, and we can by allowing Him to change our lives for His purposes. Call upon Him always, through good and bad times, and He will lead you safely home.
Thomas S. Monson is the prophet on the earth today. He is called of God and receives direct revelation for us as members of the church. I know that what he teaches us is true. He loves us more than we can imagine and strives to help us find pure joy if we will only listen and heed his words. At some point in our lives we may have a difficult time with some of those things the prophet requires of us, but I testify it comes from God and that we can receive the assurance we need to obey if we will ask our Father in Heaven and continue in faith.
I know this gospel is true. I know the Lord loves us. I know that Joseph Smith was called of God. I know we have a prophet on the earth today to lead and guide us. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and we can return to live with Him some day. I bear testimony of the truthfulness of all these things, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
