“A Sense of Your Nothingness”
Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing, which thing I never had supposed, Moses declared, having been granted a vision of the grandeur and greatness of God and his creations (Moses 1:10). Such feelings naturally attend the realization of our total dependence upon the power and blessings of heaven. We are as nothing in comparison to God. We have not even the power to make one hair white or black, let alone add a single cubit to our stature. Yet the miracle of man is the greatest evidence of God, for we have within us the power through the Atonement and the grace of God to become as he is. In the vision referred to above, Moses also learned that he was created “in the similitude” of the Only Begotten and that he too could obtain a fulness of grace and truth (Moses 1:6).
