Kristen Oaks (wife of Elder Dallin H. Oaks) tells us how to turn our personal mirrors into windows. Most people are mirrors reflecting their moods and emotions of their time. Emily Dickinson said: "The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through." We need to remember:
1. We have Heavenly Father who loves us. We need to remember that life is not between the rich and the poor or the slim and slimmer. It is between good and evil. Satan will make us think negatively about ourselves. God would never do anything to debase us or confuse us. In order to recognize God's voice we must "immunize ourselves through the scriptures." We can't recognize God's voice until we are familiar with the scriptures.
2. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Perhaps we have broken windows in our own lives of dreams that have been shattered or people who have let us down. Maybe someone you love has betrayed your trust. We can turn to the atonement to heal us. There is no broken window that can't be healed through the atonement. Salvation is NOT a cheap walk. We will have to walk something of the path Christ walked. We do live in a world of sadness and disappointment but we can be little beacons of light.
