Two years ago today I made the decision to be baptized. I realized that I had never really posted about this experience so I wanted to take the opportunity to share why I converted and what life has been like since.

There’s many reasons I could give for why I was baptized and what it has done for me. But when trying to write this caption I realized that all of my motivation to be baptized, and my motivation over the past two years to pursue a relationship with God comes from one central belief. And that is that I know without a doubt that God is real and that he loves me and every single person on this earth.

From the decision to get baptized to every decision I’ve made since this one truth has been what drives me. I want a relationship with God because he wants a relationship with me. And while I felt this love in a deep way when I first turned my life to God, I have felt it even more the past two years as I see Gods love stay close to me even when I fall short and let him down. This type of love and forgiveness can only come from the atonement of Jesus Christ and it’s a type of love that is indescribable.

I am so glad that two years ago I reacted to this love by getting baptized and I hope that I can continue to love God and follow my Savior for the rest of my life. I want everyone to know that the gospel of Christ is for all and that it always boils down to the simple truth that Gods motivation for everything is his love, so in return our motivation for everything we do should be our love for him.
