Prophets of God

"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, 

but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

-Amos 3:7

When I think of the Prophet Joseph Smith I think of the recent quote that I read about him from my Great Grandpa Jesse. N. Smith. It says, 

“I may say I was never so impressed by any person. I am unable to fully describe my sensations when in the presence of this wonderful man. I only know that I rejoiced being in his presence. No voice that I had ever heard seemed to me to be such a voice. I have never heard any human voice, not even my mother’s, that was so attractive to me. Even his bitterest enemies, if they had the privilege of hearing him speak, became mollified, and forgot their anger. Now I believe even his murderers, at the last, if their passions could have been stilled, if their anger by which they were enraged and were no longer men, could have heard his voice, his impressive voice, and listened to his explanations, I do not believe they would have demanded his life. It was a sort of insanity. The powers of evil are abroad in the world. They obtain dominion sometimes of the children of men. It was under this circumstance that they were impelled to make that mad attack.”

I am beyond grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know that he was a prophet of God! I know that he restored the gospel and church of Jesus Christ upon the earth in this day and age. I know that he restored the keys to God's Holy Priesthood here upon the earth. I am grateful for that gospel and those keys in my life. I am equally grateful for the modern day prophet, Russell M. Nelson. I am thankful in this crazy and chaotic world that we have a prophet today to lead and guide us. I know that President Russell M. Nelson is the prophet and I am thankful for his guidance today.

I am thankful for Prophets!
