John 4:13-14 Food and water fill us up for a little while, a couple of hours, maybe, but we are always going to need more. Knowledge of Christ and His teachings fills our souls permanently.
When we know our Savior, really believe in him, no one can take that knowledge away without our consent. When we drink water, we are filled, but then it eventually goes away and we have to start over. Learning of the savior builds and builds, until in the end, we get to be with Him again. I know that I have this knowledge of my Savior, and I also know that my testimony is still growing every day. I know that I can add to it, instead of having to start over every time. I love the story of the woman at the well. She learned of living water, and ran, she actually left her water jug and RAN to tell others of the Savior. We, I, should have the same enthusiasm to share the gospel with others, and how much the living water of Christ has helped me in my life.
I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood in my life. I had the great opportunity to get a priesthood blessing before school from my younger brother, who I love so much. He fasted and prayed and I know that the spirit was with him. I felt the spirit so strongly, and I know that he holds the power of God in his hands. Being a girl, I am not able to hold it myself, but I have needed it so many times in my life, and I don't know where I would be without it. I know that when it is needed, worthy men that hold this power are able to put their hands on my head and forget themselves. They are a direct link from me to God, and everything that comes out of their mouths are words from my Heavenly Father. I know this to be true, and I love that deep connection I feel to Him whenever I have the honor of receiving a Priesthood blessing.
