Every Step of the Way

I have a testimony that Jesus Christ lives. He is always there for me. It doesn't matter if it's good times or rough times I know that whenever I pray, my Father in Heaven listens and is there. I know that because of the atonement, I can become a better disciple of Him. "I know that he (the Lord) loveth His children." (1 Nephi 11:17) I know that he sent us to earth to grow and to learn through experiences. I won't say that trials aren't hard because we all know that they can be. I just know that He won't give us anything we can't handle. He won't abandon us. Trials are really there to strengthen and stretch us. I love this quote, "On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100% and that's pretty good." I know that I can't get through those days alone. I know that the Lord knows exactly what to bless me with when I need it because I know He has perfect timing. He has blessed me with wonderful people around me. He has blessed me with wonderful experiences. I know that He is mindful of me. I remember a time when I was feeling low and I was in a store and overhead the music came on and it was a John Mayer song and it cheered me up. It may have been just another song for anyone else but I really believe it was more than just a coincidence. If we look around we can find evidence of His love for us. Consider your blessings. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above..." (James 1:17) We are each divine sons or daughters of a Heavenly Father. The gospel of Jesus Christ strengthens and calms by soul. It brings me happiness and peace. You can learn more about what I believe here: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(I love this picture)
