My desire today is for all of us–not just those who are ‘poor in spirit’ but all of us–to have more straightforward personal experience with the Savior’s example.

Sometimes we seek heaven too obliquely, focusing on programs or history or the experience of others. Those are important but not as important as personal experience, true discipleship, and the strength that comes from experiencing firsthand the majesty of His touch.
