From Elder Boyd K. Packer (deceased) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles we read:
“Shortly after I was called to be a General Authority, I went to Elder Harold B. Lee for counsel. He listened very carefully to my problem and suggested that I see President David O. McKay. President McKay counseled me as to the direction I should go. I was very willing to be obedient but saw no possible way for me to do as he counseled me to do.
I returned to Elder Lee and told him that I saw no way to move in the direction I was counseled to go. He said, “The trouble with you is you want to see the end from the beginning.” I replied that I would like to see at least a step or two ahead. Then came the lesson of my lifetime: “You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness, then the light will appear and show the way before you.” Then he quoted these eighteen words from the Book of Mormon: “Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.” (Ether 12:8). ~ from ‘Memorable Stories with a Message’, Deseret Book, 2000, p.33
