I have come to more fully appreciate why it is written of His disciples on the Western Hemisphere, “They did pray for that which they most desired; and they desired that the Holy Ghost should be given unto them.”10 3 Ne. 19:9He is the consummate courier of truth.As I have looked back over my life, it is clear to me that many decisions—some seemingly small at the time and others with which I have wrestled, recognizing their import—have caused me to climb to higher planes than I would had I not yielded to the enticings of the Holy Spirit.11 [See Mosiah 3:19 Moro. 7:13Without this glorious gift we cannot comprehend the purpose of life or the great plan of the Eternal Father.12 [See Alma 34:9 For “it is impossible that man should find out all his ways. And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him.”13 Jacob 4:8Relying on logic and exercising intellect will not suffice: “Neither is man capable to make them known, for they are only to be seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who love him, and purify themselves before him.”14 D&C 76:116I cannot find words to adequately express my feelings concerning the Light of Christ and the gift of the Holy Ghost. They are as “a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”15 Ps. 119:105 see also Answers to Gospel Questions, 2:149–51.]
