Oh Say, What is Truth?

Oh say, what is truth? 

'Tis the fairest gem

That the riches of worlds can produce

and priceless the value of truth will be when

The proud monarch's costliest diadem

Is counted but dross and refuse.

We are all searching for truth. It is what we all aim for, it is what we want to obtain, and it is what we dream about. Truth, where can one find it? How can we obtain it? What are we willing to do to hold it in our hearts and never let go? Is there a sacrifice not great enough to obtain such a blessing? 

Jesus Christ likened truth unto a mustard seed, "Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and where unto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it." (Luke 13:18-19)  

The Truth Revealed from Out of the Earth

"Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A voice of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth out of the earth; glad tidings for the dead; a voice of gladness for the living and the dead; glad tidings of great joy. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of good things, and that say unto Zion: Behold, thy God reigneth! As the dews of Carmel, so shall the knowledge of God descend upon them!" (D&C 128:19) The truth of the ever lasting gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through a prophet named Joseph Smith. The truth that has been revealed from out of the earth is the Book of Mormon. We as missionaries and representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invite all men every where to partake of that truth. Our message is one of Peace, Hope, and Happiness. May you always search and thirst after righteousness. I challenge you to read the Book of Mormon and reflect on its message, and then find out for yourself if it is not true through asking God in prayer. I promise you that you will receive an answer that the book is true.
