That They May See (excerpts)
By virtue of the Restoration of His gospel, we can be filled with the light of our Savior. However, that light is not meant for you and me alone. Jesus Christ has called upon us to “let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven” [3 Nephi 12:16]. I have come to love the phrase “that they may see.” It is an earnest invitation from the Lord to be more intentional about helping others see the path and thereby come unto Christ. …
… The Lord’s invitation to let our light so shine is not just about randomly waving a beam of light and making the world generally brighter. It is about focusing our light so others may see the way to Christ. It is gathering Israel on this side of the veil—helping others see the next step for- ward in making and keeping sacred covenants with God. …
… Remember that the Savior testified, “I am the light which ye shall hold up” [3 Nephi 18:24]. He reminds us that He will bring the light if we will just point others to Him.
You and I have enough light to share right now. We can light the next step to help someone draw nearer to Jesus Christ, and then the next step, and the next.
Ask yourself, “Who needs the light you have to find the path they need but cannot see?”
