John 17:3

And this is life enteral, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom though hast sent.


This has long been one of the most meaningful scriptures for me and the one I wanted to start my scripture memorization.  My Patriarchal Blessing states that there are many uncertainties in this life but the only certainties are Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  I have pondered this many many times over the years.  

I know that an important part of this life is to learn to know God - part of that knowing God is trusting God.  This is a double edged sword for me.  On one part I am a child with complete faith and trust - on another part - with the way my sister was killed I am very untrusting.  The emotional split that occurred for me at such an young age created the craziness of trusting God and not trusting God.  

My goal is to trust God when and where I can - and work to heal the loss of trust as well.  

We get to know God and Jesus Christ by learning about them - about what they have told us - and doing our best follow them.

We also can grow closer to God our Heavenly Father through constant earnest pray.
