The challenges may be formidable and the route sometimes unknown. But inevitable wrong turns notwithstanding, those who strive to be truly Christlike—with steadfast determination to serve others and a willingness to press forward in faith—can come to echo this grand spiritual truth shared by Nephi as he continued his shipbuilding: “And I … did … pray oft unto the Lord; wherefore the Lord showed unto me great things.”10 To be shown “great things”—what a gift, what a blessing to those who have chosen “to grow up unto the Lord.” – Anne C. Pingree, “To Grow Up unto the Lord,” Ensign (CR) May 2006
