It is Sunday afternoon and I have had a full heart all day. I have been reflecting a lot on Joseph Smiths life and while reading in the scriptures I ran across this scripture. I wanted to post it...It touched me today.
--Joseph Smith History 1:25--
"So it was with me, I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it, at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation."

That statement of I knew it and I knew that God knew I knew it has always been a powerful one for me also. Thank you for sharing. I love you, Sue
