I was reading in Doctrine and Covenants, section 88, verses 49 and 50, that "The light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not; nevertheless the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God; being quickened in him and by him. Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and that you are in me; otherwise ye could not abound."
I was impressed by the statement that the light shines but we don't comprehend it. Yet we will comprehend, and then know that we have seen Christ.
Then I read in D&C 38: 7-8, where it says: "But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me. But the day soon cometh that ye shall see me, and know that I am; for the veil of darkness shall soon be rent, and he that is not purified shall not abide the day/"
I was thinking about how the Lord tells us that he is here in our midst but we cannot see him, but we shall see him soon. As I thought about this, it came to me that he is in our lives all the time, yet we do not recognize it. His help and guidance are in a multitude of helps, blessings, and tender mercies, many of them disguised as coincidences. I suspect that when we do see him we shall be amazed at how well we know him, for we will finally see and understand that he has been with us all along, and recognized all the things that he has done for us.
