Many of us have a difficult time seeing ourselves as we truly
are, and even successful people overestimate their own contribution and
underestimate the contributions that others make... But when we start believing that our
contributions at home, at work, and at church are greater than they actually
are, we blind ourselves to blessings and opportunities to improve ourselves in
significant and profound ways. . .
Being able to see ourselves clearly is
essential to our spiritual growth and well-being. If our weaknesses and shortcomings remain
obscured in the shadows, then the redeeming power of the Savior cannot heal
them and make them strengths.
Ironically, our blindness toward our human weaknesses will also make us
blind to the divine potential that our Father yearns to nurture within each of
us.
