"'And a little child shall lead them.' (2 Ne. 21:6.) Can you imagine the joy our Heavenly Father must feel when we come to him with the tender faith of a little child and accept the love he has for each of us? He wants us to come to him and has promised that he will be there to welcome us. In the Doctrine and Covenants he has said, 'Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.' (D&C 88:63.) This is our invitation from our Father in Heaven to share in the wondrous blessings he has in store for us. He then gives explicit directions on how we can find him: 'Seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' (D&C 88:63; italics added.) Seek, Ask, Knock." - J. Thomas Fyans, "Draw Near unto Me," Ensign, Nov. 1985, p. 90
