I’ve never met Jesus Christ nor my Heavenly Father. I haven’t seen any angels or what heaven is like. I wasn’t there when Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon. There are a lot of things I don’t know and haven’t seen! What I do know is that everyone on Earth has a Heavenly Father that loves them more than they can imagine. He lives with His angels in a type of heaven, a place without pain and sorrow, a place where we so desperately should want to be. I know Jesus Christ made it possible for imperfect human beings like me and you, who probably don’t deserve something so great, to make it to that perfect place. As I show my love and appreciation for His sacrifice and grace by keeping His commandments, I am blessed with even more. I am so happy! I know that God has once again reached out in love to His children by revealing His commandments through modern-day prophets. He began with the prophet, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon and continues to lead His church through prophets and apostles today.
Some might ask how I can know these things without seeing them, without being there. I believe in the Spirit of God, a guide who helps God’s children feel and know what is right and true. The Spirit of God is available to all those who come with honest and humble hearts to know God’s will and be like Him. I hope and pray that everyone can know what I know and feel what I feel. For me, there really is no other way to truly live. I share these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
