Mortal man, while in the flesh, has it in his power to see the Lord, to stand in his presence
“There is a true doctrine on these points, a doctrine unknown to many and unbelieved by more, a doctrine that is spelled out as specifically and extensively in the revealed word as are any of the other great revealed truths. There is no need for uncertainty or misunderstanding; and surely, if the Lord reveals a doctrine, we should seek to learn its principles and strive to apply them in our lives. This doctrine is that mortal man, while in the flesh, has it in his power to see the Lord, to stand in his presence, to feel the nail marks in his hands and feet, and to receive from him such blessings as are reserved for those only who keep all his commandments and who are qualified for that eternal life which includes being in his presence forever. Let us at least sample the holy word and see what the Lord has promised as to seeing his face and being in his presence while we are yet pilgrims far removed from our heavenly home.”
This quote fills my soul with such light and great desire. Especially, with the start of a new year, it is time to connect with the Lord and to serve Him with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. My one word for this year is “connect.” I made the picture down below for my lock screen to remind me everyday of this most important and exciting goal for 2021.
