God Lives!

In discussing D&C 38:1, Henry D. Taylor said, “We declare to the world that God is not dead, but rather that he is "the beginning and the end, the same which looked upon the wide expanse of eternity, and all the seraphic hosts of heaven, before the world was made." I bear solemn witness that God does live and that the first principle of the gospel is to have faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and in God, our Heavenly Father. We further declare to the world and bear witness that we are the spiritual offspring of heavenly parents.” Henry D. Taylor, Conference Report, October 1970, pp. 18-20

It’s hard for me to comprehend all that God and Jesus Christ are and all that they have done and continue to do. Even though my feeble mind may not be able to fully understand everything of an eternal nature, I do know that I have had a witness that they live. I am reminded of that every time I see a beautiful sunset or sunrise, which happens a lot around here. I am reminded of that when I have the opportunity to be in the mountains and feel of their majesty! I am reminded of their existence when I hold one of my children in my arms and marvel at their existence! I am reminded of this when there is a rainbow or even a double rainbow that seems to start or end at my house. I am reminded of this when I enter his Holy house and feel of his presence there. How grateful I am for the knowledge of a loving Father in Heaven who sacrificed His son, so that I can have the opportunity to return and live with them again.
