[Gérald Caussé] People who try to find God
sometimes think that they have to look for Him
in intellectually complicated concepts.
However, our Heavenly Father is always available to us
He adapts to our level of understanding.
If He comes to a little child,
He will adapt Himself to the language and capacity of a little child.
God would indeed be unjust
if the Gospel was only accessible to an intellectual elite.
In His goodness, He has ensured that the truths regarding God
are understandable to all His children,
whatever the level of education or intellectual faculty.
President John Taylor said:
"It is true intelligence for a man
to take a subject that is mysterious and great in itself
and to unfold and simplify it so that a child can understand it."
Little children have a marvelous disposition to learn,
they have total trust in their teacher,
a pure spirit and great humility.
In other words,
the same qualities which open the door to the Holy Spirit.
Knowing God is having a testimony of His existence
and feeling in ones heart that he loves us.
It is accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior
and having a fervent desire to follow his example.
I pray that we will know how to open our hearts
like a little child
and take pleasure in hearing and practicing the Word of God
in all the power of its simplicity.
I bear testimony, that if we do this
we will gain the knowledge of the mysteries of God
and the peace of all things.
That which bring us joy, that which bring us life eternal.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
