With Elder Gerard's comments during Stake Conference, I was impressed to study the topic of revelation. It took me to a wonderful scripture in the Book of Mormon.
"Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (3 Nephi 14:7-11)
This makes so much sense to me. Logically, if even wicked and fallen men know how to give good gifts, obviously God's gifts will be infinitely better. It all comes down to asking, seeking, and knocking. As we truly have the desire to follow God's counsel, He will bless us with revelation that we've never before received.
