The Savior has promised, "seek and ye shall find." Such seeking becomes a life journey. "Although we know what our ultimate destination is, the rich experiences and real learning come day by day as we progress toward our goal.
As we seek the things of God, "we must humble ourselves before him, remembering that it is by his grace that we receive them, and focus our thoughts and our prayers, our faith and our desires, even all of the energy of our hearts that we might receive light and understanding . . . "
Among the things Latter-day Saints should seek are wisdom and understanding, opportunities for service and those things in life that are uplifting and virtuous. They should not seek the unclean things of the world.
"As we engage our faith and commit our energy to draw closer to Jesus Christ, we begin to understand more fully who he really is . . . we gain a deep and abiding testimony of his matchless love, his perfect life and example and the blessings of his great atoning sacrifice." The deeper one seeks, the more appreciation and understanding he develops.
Honest seeking will lead to the truths of Christ's redemptive death and Resurrection. "As we seek him, we find that he continues to guide his church through his living prophet . . ." and that the organization of his church is built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.
