Three times today I found myself in tears, the language of the Spirit. The first time was as I watched a video about the unprecedented work of our Savior Jesus Christ, as He atoned for our sins and then was resurrected. I know that because He lives again we all will live again. I also know that by following the rules of repentance and because of Jesus Christ our mistakes do not need to matter.
Later in the day as I role-played an investigator I remembered what I was like 42 years ago as I was being taught the gospel. I was told to find out for myself if what I was being taught was true by study, living the principles and by prayer. At that time I was so happy that Heavenly Father had made such a wonderful plan that I did not pray about it. I do not remember if perhaps I feared that God would not answer me as I knew I had not lived up to the truth I had already known. Today I was blessed to receive yet another witness that God exists, that He loves me, and that He will answer my prayers.
After my classes were done I decided to go to the temple. While I sat in the waiting area I was overcome once again by tears. I remembered many sweet experiences that have reassured me that my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ know me as an individual and care about me .
Perhaps I received these experiences today so that I can testify to anyone and everyone that should any desire to have a witness from God, if they will study His words and teachings, live by His principles and pray to Him, each of us can receive a witness for ourselves.
