In the April 2013 general conference of the LDS church, Preisdent Dieter F. Uctdorf provided and suggested three ways of 'opening our eyes to the hope of God's light'. He informs us that once we have found where we are, found our bearings in the path of the Lord, that we simply must 'walk in the light'.
I made a graphic (which you're welcome to share) from what he instructed us, which said "he desires that you rise up and become the person you were designed to be". I think this is a great thought we can all draw help from. When we remember what God has done for us, all that he has provided, (quite literally everything!) we can hardly be grateful enough. All he wants in return, is for us to use it all to rise up and be happy! He wants us to follow the Savior, Jesus Christ, and be good. He wants us to see His expectations for us, and try our best to meet those.
Much like the graphic above, we need help to rise up. It's not enough to desire to just rise up, we won't get much higher than we ever have been! We need tools, much like the hang glider. The hope of God's light is the hope we need to lift us higher. If we want to become great, we cannot do it on our own! We must rely and trust on the instruments the Lord provides for us, and they can lift us as high as we want to go.
I hope we realise in our lives that the tools are there, we can rise high, but we cannot do it on our own. He wants to help us through our mistakes, and help us indeed to be the person we were designed to be.
The Will of God is an inspiring video about how
God cuts us down, but he will lift us up each time.
