Abiding by its precepts

I keep thinking about something that I heard in Stake Conference last weekend.
"Teach them what you know, but more importantly, teach them HOW you know".

Been thinking a lot about how this applies to my life. Really and truly, it applies in every area right now to me.

My calling.
My job.
My testimony.
My family & friends.

Just...
everything.

I recently started reading the Book of Mormon again, and it seems that each time I start anew, I am reminded of the testimony that I have gained from reading its pages.

How do I know of its truthfulness?
Because I've read it. Lots.
Because I've prayed about it. Lots.
Because I've pondered it. Lots.

I love this phrase that I read today in the introduction.

"A man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts".

I've been soul searching for a bit now. Struggling, a lot. I'm grateful that I know this...that I know that when I read, I will get nearer to God. And I know this because every time I recommit myself to read, I have sweet tender experiences like the one I just had tonight.

The Gospel is true.
This book....is amazing.
