I KNOW that our Heavenly Father lives, and he loves you and me.  I have such a strong testimony of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God and the Savior of all mankind.  When I think of what he endured and how he suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and on the cross, for your sake and my sake, it brings tears to my eyes.    I have a testimony of the power of prayer, and that Heavenly Father answers prayers just as he did the prayer of a small boy, Joseph Smith.  I KNOW that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, called by Him to restore His kingdom in these latter days.  I KNOW that God is the “same yesterday, today, and forever,” (Hebrews 13:8) and that he gives revelation to his prophets on Earth today just as he did in days of old.  I KNOW that Gordon B. Hinckley is such a prophet on the earth today, to guide us so that “we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby the lie in wait to deceive”  (Ephesians 4:14).  I KNOW that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God, preserved especially for us in these latter-days.  I KNOW that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and is His Kingdom on Earth.  I know all these things with all my heart, because they are true.  I love my Heavenly Father, I love His Son Jesus Christ, and I am so thankful for his atoning sacrifice for my sake.  I am so thankful for my membership in His church, and every day I strive to be more like Him.  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN.
