My soul is happy about the restoration

Recently I felt like I needed to strengthen my testimony of Joseph Smith and the restoration. So I started reading the D&C. Wow! Today I felt the blessings of it. I read a talk about Palmyra that was about this guy who had a question about why Palmyra was the place for Joseph Smith to see God and why and how there were crowds of people there. And basically his talk was about how we get answers to prayers if we seek them. As I read the talk, I just thought about how everything about Joseph Smith and the restoration was really unique and special. And it all and each happened because Heavenly Father loves us. And wants us to have truth. So many little things just worked out in our favor. What a blessing. And I'm so grateful. Then I read D&C 19. And I don't remember what it's about even now, besides Jesus talking about His experience and encouraging them to always repent and to teach repentance. But I remember the way I felt. The same as above. And this scripture pretty nicely and sweetly sums it up: "39 Behold, canst thou read this without rejoicing and lifting up thy heart for gladness?"
