The more humble and obedient we are, the more the Lord can give us ability to see. When the Savior asked His disciples, “Having eyes, see ye not?” (Mark 8:18). He could have been saying to all of us, “Open your eyes. See who I really am and how much I have done and am doing for you. See who you really are and how much more you are needed to help others. Please follow me. Don’t be like the unbelieving of whom I must say, ‘their eyes they have closed,’ but be believing so I can say, ‘but blessed are your eyes, for they see'” (see Matthew 13:15-16) The Savior is always urging us to be more obedient so we can see more clearly—-knowing that, as we do, we will understand more and have more joy. . . .
God is the great Creator. He is the giver of life and opportunity and hope. His hand is in all that is around us. I am confident that when we finally see things as they really are, we will bow in even deeper adoration for all the Lord has done for us. It will be so much more than we ever thought, we will want to say, “I had no idea! If only I had known!” ~John H. Groberg. . . . from ‘A Year of Powerful Prayer’ (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2013) 85-86
