so much to learn

Sometimes I find it overwhelming to realize how much there is to learn about the gospel and from the scriptures. There are so many scripture stories that I don't know completely or verses that don't make sense to me. There are even times where I sit down and try to put all my energy to piecing together a passage in Isaiah and I come out feeling like I lack the knowledge to REALLY say I understand the gospel. As I think about this I realize that while there are always new things that I can learn and more for me to understand, the gospel really is made up of simple truths. As I relearn some of these simple truths that is when I have a confirmation of my testimony. I am grateful for those moments. Today I had the experience of feeling a simple truth whispered to me. I learned (again) that Heavenly Father loves each of His children and he wants us all to partake of the blessings of baptism. I am glad that I was able to relearn this and understand how important it is to support those that are interested and exploring the possibility of baptism.

What greater witness can you have?

In Docterine and Covenants 6:22-23 it says:

22Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might ^aknow concerning the truth of these things.

23Did I not speak ^apeace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater ^bwitness can you have than from God?

I have thought of this scripture many times when I feel that I am getting stuck in the cycle of asking the same questions over and over again. Often times I have received an answer and I wonder if it was a REAL answer or just what I wanted to hear. I love this scripture that reminds us that peace coming to our minds is the greatest answer or Heavenly Father can give us. I am grateful for times I have felt peace and known something that Heavenly Father wanted me to know.
