Reason #2

My reason's for why I love and appreciate the gospel of Christ are not necessarily in any order as to importance, for the reason's are equally important across the board. They are things that have given me strength in what I believe. I think that if more people would look to the positive instead of trying to tear down a believe they fail to understand or support the tearing down there of we would live in a much better world.

Reason#2 - The Holy Ghost - I have heard about the Holy Ghost on many occassions, but I hadn't had any experience with it until my investigations of the LDS church. In fact, my very first experience with the Holy Ghost brought a powerful testimony of Christ which bore wittness of His divinity and role in our lives. The Holy Ghost has literally been a beacon as I traverse this difficult and often dark world, lighting my way, bringing me comfort and strength in times of need. It has given me answers to questions, increased my understanding of gospel doctrine, warned me of danger, brought me closer as I follow it's guiding influence to family and friends and to the Savior, and much much more. In one scripture I recall, Jesus tells Simon Barjona how blessed he is because he knew of things not because flesh and blood had revieled it to him, but because his Father in Heaven revealed it to him. Knowledge from men can be good, but it is still knowledge from a man (or woman), but once you recieve knowledge from God you are building your faith on that "Rock" spoken of in the scriptures wherein when the storms come and the winds blow it cannot fall, because of the strength of that knowledge. What a wonderful thing!
