The Lost Sheep

I got the opportunity to substitute Rhev's class in primary today. The lesson in sharing time was about helping Heavenly Father find his lost sheep and bring them back into the fold. When the teacher asked what the children thought they could do to bring back the lost sheep, Rhev chimed in "The sheep are lost?! Looks like we have a Mystery to solve".
How could such a silly little boy have so much insight and eternal perspective. Bringing back the lost sheep is just like having a mystery to solve. We don't always know why people fall away from the gospel, but it is our job to solve the mystery and bring them back. I am so grateful for his simple explanation. The gospel isn't as hard as we make it out to be sometimes. We simply have to take a step back and look at it with the eyes of a child. I have challenged myself to take a step back and solve the mysteries in myself and help solve the mysteries of my lost neighbors. I know this church is true!
