There is perhaps no more frequent invitation or reassuring promise in all of scripture than this one: "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).
...Most of the revelations received by the Prophet Joseph Smith came after diligent seeking, including this magnificent promise:
I, the Lord, . . . delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness. . . .
Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.
And to them will I reveal all mysteries. . . .
And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven. . .
For . . . by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will. [D&C 76:5–10]
Clearly there is no limit to what the Lord is willing to teach and give us.
