“The thing I have come to realize more than anything else during my life is that we will never have all of the answers. That is especially true when it comes to the gospel.
I was born into the church, to amazing parents with strong testimonies. Although that helped shape my view from a young age, just like anyone else, as I grew older I had to learn for myself what was important, what I believed, and most importantly what I valued. Even when times got tough, and questions felt like they outweighed all else, I just kept putting one foot in front of another. And that lead me down the path I’m on now, not knowing everything but knowing enough.
I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me, as he loves all of his children. I know that Jesus Christ is my brother and it’s only through his atonement I can reach my full potential and find peace in this life. I know that the blessings the gospel brings into my life are what I value most and I never want to lose that.
So I often remind myself of the beginning of the ninth article of faith: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things.” We don’t know everything, and maybe in this life we never will. But I know that I am a loved daughter of God, and I know that his gospel helps me feel closer to him, and helps me become the person I want to be.”
