2020 Vision

I have a problem with my right eye.
I've been getting shots in my eye for over a year.
At last I had laser surgery on my eye.

I used to have a dark gray cloud covering my vision; now I have a light gray one.
I see better, but my vision is still impaired.

At my last eye exam, they covered my bad eye with a paddle, like a wooden spoon, but this time it wasn't solid but it had holes in it--to refract light. This time, once my eyes focused, I could see perfectly!

Paul taught that we see through a glass darkly.  I know just what that feels like with my physical eyes.  But what about our spiritual eyes?

We once lived as spirit children with our perfect and exalted Parents.  I believe we could see clearly then.  Mortality has covered our vision with a dark cloud, a veil of forgetfulness, a body of clay, with subtlety, carnality and enmity. 

But when light shines on us, we can see more clearly.
Jesus is that Light, the Light of the World, the light that is in and through all things He has created.
Through the Light of Christ given to all men, our vision is clearer.
Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we see even more clearly.
When we align ourselves with the truth and light in time and space, our vision is even better.

Through faith, prayer, study and obedience, we can refract His light to shine more brightly in us, to help us see more clearly eternal truth.

The Great Physician can heal our blindness and give us sight.

My eyes -- and our spiritual eyes -- are capable of perfect vision.
We just need to clear the clouds.



That which is of God is light;
and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; 
and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."  D&C 50:24
