In museums and shopping malls and other large building complexes, there are often large maps placed at strategic locations with a big arrow pointing to a specific spot on the map with the label “You Are Here.” These You Are Here labels can help us to orient ourselves and make sense of our surroundings. They can help us to know where we really are and they can help us to make a realistic plan to where we can go. In a Spiritual sense, the Holy Ghost can help us in the same way as these You Are Here maps. “Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also spake them unto prophets of old.” (Jacob 4:13). The Holy Ghost can show us things as they really are, and things as they really will be. Satan tries to convince us that we are hopelessly lost and might as well give up trying. But no matter what we have done in the past, we can pray for guidance and the Holy Ghost will show us where we really are and give us a map that we can follow to get to where we really need to go. I know that we are never truly lost to our Heavenly Father and whenever we feel lost, He can give us a map showing us You Are Here with clear guidance on how to get back to him.
