I believe that Heavenly Father loves us. He wants us to know his plan and return to live with him again for eternity. We are his actual sons and daughters. Now if I believe this, then you need to know, that I also believe he didn't just send us here to earth to "maybe" or "hopefully" find our way back to him. I believe the Lord has provided a way for us to know his plan, his gospel, his commandments. I honestly believe that he has restored his true gospel on this earth again. (I say again, because His true gospel was already on the earth when the Savior himself was here.) We are not left in the dark. I feel, more than words can express, blessed to have been born into this knowledge and being taught how to live the way Heavenly Father wants me to live all of my life. I believe there is one true church on this earth directed by the Savior himself through an actual living prophet! A prophet who has been foreordained to this work. I am grateful for this prophet called of God. Our prophet on earth today, President Hinckley passed away tonight after serving as the prophet since 1995! That is why I'm feeling compelled to express my feelings of love, reverence, and gratitude (again!) 
"We thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us in these latter days.
We thank thee for sending the gospel to lighten our minds with its rays.
"We thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us in these latter days.We thank thee for every blessing, Bestowed by thy bounteous hand.
We feel it a pleasure to serve thee, and love to obey thy command."
~We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet an LDS Hymn
"Oh, holy words of truth and love we hear from day to day, Revealed to Saints from God above to guide in heaven's way.Beautiful words of love, Coming from God above, How sweet, how dear the words we hear! They're beautiful words of love.
They're from the prophets God inspires, In counsel oft withstood, Reproving all our ill desires, Commending all that's good.
Beautiful words of love, Coming from God above, How sweet, how dear the words we hear!
They're beautiful words of love."
