My Allegiance

Where My Allegiance Lies

9-13-08

First of all, what is allegiance? Well according to the dictionary allegiance is:

Devotion or Loyalty. Especially to a Person, Group or Cause.

This means, to me, that allegiance is pretty much when you find something (usually a Person, Group or Cause) that you feel is a good thing, and then you devote yourself to it.

Take the Prophet Joseph Smith. In the time when he was searching for the right church and denomination to join he was devoted to finding the truth. And after he found the knowledge he was looking for he put all of his life into that work. And had complete, pure loyalty and allegiance to his Father in Heaven and his work.

So where does my allegiance lie? It lies in my family, my country, my friends and, most importantly, my Heavenly Father.

I hope that answers the question. And if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is my testimony of the restored church and of my Father in Heaven.
