Just outside the door
Harold B. Lee, The Teachings of Harold B. Lee, edited by Clyde J. Williams, p.429
We must live so as to be worthy to hear the Lord’s voice. The Lord is standing outside of the doors of the souls of every one of us, even as He said to John [quotes Revelation 3:20]. It isn’t the Lord who keeps Himself away from us. We are the ones that keep ourselves away from the Lord and the Holy Ghost. When we learn to love completely His gospel, then we will be prepared to live in His presence. Wouldn’t you like to so live that when God spoke you would be able to hear it, or to be able to be worthy to have a visitation from an angelic visitor, or perhaps to be ready to go into the presence of the Lord? The Lord told us how we could be ready. Here He said in a great revelation these words: “Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am” (D&C 93:1).
