"He who hath faith to see shall see.
He who hath faith to hear shall hear.
The lame who hath faith to leap shall leap.
And they who have not faith to do these things, but believe in me, have power to become my sons; and inasmuch as they break not my laws thou shalt bear their infirmities."
Doctrine and Covenants 42:49-52
I like the emphasis placed on faith here. It's so easy to doubt and to believe that we just can't do it, that things will never work out, that things will always be the same, etc. God promises that change can happen--that even our doubting hearts and minds can be changed through faith on his name. To get there though, we have to make room for hope and faith. We have to stretch and at least start with a "desire to believe" (Alma 32:27), and work from there, letting more of God in as we go. We aren't static beings, or trapped in being the way we are right now. We are "blessed being[s] of light" (Do Your Part With All Your Heart, October 2025 General Conference), and God can still change and mold us, if we let him in and ask for help. He can heal us, and help us.
Today, let's have faith to see and hear and leap. Let's work on our faith and bear our own and others' infirmities as we strive together to become a faithful, believing community in faith and hope and love, with God's help to unify and strengthen us. Let's learn to hope and trust him more, and build the faith necessary to see miracles happen in our lives and all around us, and in learning to leap. :)
