Eye to eye

So I work as a byu sports camp counselor. Therefore I don't have much time off during the day. Usually I come home from work around nine and then go running and get ready for the day. By this time it leaves not very much time for anything else besides maybe doing wash and a few other odds and ends things. But yesterday I decided that I would need to sacrifice a day of running in order to go to the temple. Thank goodness I did  too! I went to the temple with the desire to receive some help in growing my faith in God and increasing my confidence in myself.

 I decided to say a prayer and then start reading the scriptures where I was already previously reading. I was in Mosiah chapter 15 of the Book of Mormon. Throughout the whole chapter nothing seemed to be sticking out and I thought that I would simply read through the whole chapter without finding something that would help me or be my answer. Then in verse 29 at the very end it says, “for they shall see eye to eye.” I read this phrase and almost didn't notice the impression, but the spirit told me to go back and review that phrase. I realized that God was telling me that I simply need to see eye to eye with Him. When He looks at me He sees a beautiful and talented daughter of God. He sees more in me than I have ever seen in myself. I need to see eye to eye with God because He sees me for who I really am. He feels sad that I don't feel super confident in myself and in my looks. He created me and He loves me for who I am. If I can simply see myself through God’s eyes I will be filled with greater confidence. This is what I need to remember. If I can do this my confidence will be seen by others and my inner and outer beauty will be magnified and others will be attracted to my happy and confident personality.

Do you see eye to eye with God?
