Seek And Ye Shall Find

By Ldsapologetics
Our leaders have said to express our doubts, to ask our questions at church. And many have until they get shot down dismissively. It's as if people only go to church to have their world view reinforced rather than to seek spiritually, to ponder and pray and discuss.
Far too many of us seek only as far as the latest issue of the Ensign and only go over scripture as quoted in conference talks.
Seeking there isn't bad but seeking to reinforce what you already believe I think is dangerous. It results in spiritual atrophy and even death.
Each of us lives in a bubble to one degree or another. And by seeking and finding we expand that scope of knowledge and faith.
It's like a bubble universe. It can start out as small and grow to an infinite size. And then grow some more.
Many think that there is a limit to the truth they need. Enough knowledge for a lifetime then we go to heaven and that's the end game.
But is it? Are we not to continue to grow over the course of eternity?
Jesus told His disciples who had accepted the truth of His identity and origin that they should seek and that they would find, to knock and it would be opened to them.
This universe is infinite in scope and it is the bubble God resides in and that's as big as our scope of knowledge will be in the eternities.
Accepting God and Jesus Christ as being factual is not the end of our understanding but the begining.
Life is a mystery and the human mind is designed to solve it.
Children have an amazing imagination and awe of the world. We lose that when we think we know all that's worth knowing. There is enough knowledge and inspiration to keep that childlike awe alive and well within us until the end of time.
