Simple Faith

Sometimes, when I hear of someone struggling in some phase of the gospel, I find it hard to understand. When I've discussed this with people, they take it that I am not someone that questions things, and that I'll just take whatever. As I've thought about this, I've come to the conclusion that they are both very right, and very wrong.

I have had too many experiences in my life to ever doubt that there is a God. And, not only is he God, but he is a very loving Heavenly Father. Time and time again I have been amazed as events unfold in my life, and I can obviously see His hand in all of it. Even times when I have been frustrated because my plans didn't work out. God's plan always does. I believe in a God that has infinite knowledge and power. I believe that I am here for a reason. And I may not be perfect, but I know he is. I also know that His plan is perfect, and we have been given a perfect Savior. So, because I'm not perfect, I do have doubts sometimes. Sometimes there are things that I cannot understand, however, it's easier for me to just trust that things will all work out one day, instead of beat my head against a wall that isn't going to give.

I have a simple faith.
