We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.

The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in his own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.

Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for he sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming.
