"We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won’t, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of transformation. It takes us as men and women of the earth and refines us into men and women for the eternities.
The means of this refinement is our Christlike love. There is no pain it cannot soften, no bitterness it cannot remove, no hatred it cannot alter. " -Joseph B. Wirthlin
I love this quote. Elder Wirthlin gave such good talks about hope for better days after his wife died a couple years before his death.
We, as mortals, can't see life in terms Heavenly Father can. We aren't perfect yet, and it's hard to believe sometimes that I can be perfect like Christ when right now I feel so far from it. But like Elder Worthlin said, we are seen in His eyes differently. How grateful I am that He sees the whole picture. And he knows where I fit in, and is guiding me to be that person he sees. Jesus Christ made his sacrifice to help me become perfect. What a comfort that is.
