I Believe Him

I believe in Christ, and I also believe in His teachings. I know that He lives and loves me more than I will ever be able to comprehend in my mortal state. Sometimes I wish I had a big brother, but I have come to realize that I already have the best big brother ever, Jesus Christ. He is my friend. He always knows what's going on in my life, and even what's going on in my mind (which is a little unnerving sometimes when I forget that fact).

I am so thankful for the Atonement. Without it, life would be completely pointless. I would be hopeless. Christ is my anchor.
I can't say I have a perfect habit of praying and reading the scriptures every single day, but the days that I do are filled with more meaning and peace and I am much happier. I love feeling like I can communicate personally with God and having my prayers answered. I can't imagine how lost I would feel if I had no idea that He was always looking out for me and watching over and protecting me. Everyone should make developing a personal relationship with Christ and Heavenly Father their absolute highest priority. Nothing else in life is more important. If you love God, you will obey His commandments. And everything else just falls in place after that. You will be happy. God created us to be happy.

I wish that I could always remember that so that I never had to feel lost or lonely or worthless. Unfortunately, sometimes I still find myself turning away from God, looking beyond the mark. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that He will never leave me, he is always patiently waiting for me to come back to Him because I am His.

Everything around me attests that God exists and loves His children. The world He created for us is so beautiful. He created a world of order, not chaos. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is also a church of order. I know that it is the one true church, with Jesus Christ at its head. I am so thankful to be a part of this world, in this time and space. I don't know everything, but I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I love Him, and He loves me too. And that's good enough for me.
