Our spiritual journey is the process of a lifetime. We do not know everything in the beginning or even along the way.
We first build a foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We treasure the principles and ordinances of repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost. We include a continuing commitment to prayer, a willingness to be obedient, and an ongoing witness of the Book of Mormon.
We then remain steady and patient as we progress through mortality. At times, the Lord’s answer will be, “You don’t know everything, but you know enough”—enough to keep the commandments and to do what is right.
Challenges, difficulties, questions, doubts—these are part of our mortality. But we are not alone.. We have enormous spiritual reservoirs of light and truth available to us.
Our questions and doubts are resolved or become less concerning to us. Our faith becomes simple and pure. We come to know what we already knew.
You don’t know everything, but you know enough.
Jesus said, “Except ye … become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus is the Christ. He is resurrected. He is our Savior and Redeemer. Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, His priesthood was restored upon the earth. You don’t know everything, but you know enough. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I really like the line when he said that our faith becomes “simple and pure”. To become like little children, we need to have simple and pure faith like them. This doesn’t mean not to question… kids question and explore things all the time. That’s how we learn. But when I tell my kids that they have to trust me that I know what’s best, they are okay with that and put trust into motion. I know that when we trust, everything will be clear in the end.
