I think it is a wonderful blessing to hear the
testimony of the apostles and the prophets. Especially from one who has had
years of experience. President Packer describes through his poem the simple
truths such as how “we have no greater friend” and shows that we do not need to
know all the symbols of every scripture story. In the end it will come down to
how well we know God and have followed His commandments. Another thing I love
about this poem is that coming to know God does not come all at once and does
not come early. It comes with time as shown by President Packer describing it
at the end of his poem. I think the apostles are great to lean on when
someone’s testimony is weak or just starting. Their testimonies are so pure and
simple and the spirit testifies of the truthfulness of the words. I hope that
in the end we can all say “my Lord, my God, I know.”
