Joy

I LOVE THIS QUOTE!

As a person who battles depression and has battled it since the age of 14, happiness and joy can feel always just out of grasp. This quote made so much sense to me! As I have spent more time in the temple, more time in the scriptures, and more time studying conference talks, I have felt so much more joy in my life.

Happiness and Joy are not something that come easily to everyone, but it can be obtained by anyone who truly wants it by doing those things that bring us closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

My depression has not been cured by any means, but it is a little easier to get through the bad days, when you feel more times of joy in your life. I have also felt more joy as I had spent more time focusing on my blessings and the feeling of gratitude for all we have been given, because it is more than we will ever realize!

I Have a Testimony

I have a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and of our Heavenly Father that they are real. That we were made in their image, that they love us more than we can ever comprehend, and their wish is that we will turn to them in our joys and in our trials. I have a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ which was restored to the earth by the Prophet Joseph Smith. I have a testimony of the Bible and the Book of Mormon and am a better person because of the truths and learning that have come when I have studied their pages. I have a testimony of a life hereafter. At special times I have felt the presence of those who have since passed away, close to me. I know this mortal life is not the end. I have a testimony that our Savior, Jesus Christ lived and died for us so that we may know how to live to return to live with him and our Father in Heaven for eternity. I have a testimony of our current Prophet, President Russell M Nelson and have felt the spirit strongly in his presence. I have a testimony of our Apostles and learn so much from them with every conference talk. I have a testimony of temples, and the covenants we make with our Heavenly Father there. Temples are truly a House of the Lord in every sense of the phrase. I have a testimony of baptism and the cleansing power it gives because of our Saviors sacrifice for us. I have a testimony of repentance. It is through this process that our Savior and the Holy Ghost can change our hearts and minds for the better. I have a testimony as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, that there is no other place on earth that has the fullness of our Saviors gospel and priesthood authority to administer in His name. I have a testimony of the Holy Ghost who is my constant companion. A day does not go by without his influence in my life. Comforting me, guiding me, and helping me to make better decisions. I am so grateful for my testimony. It is by far my most precious possession and pray daily that I never lose it. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our Advocate with the Father, our Elder Brother, and our Friend. Amen.
