Nauvoo People

'Characteristic of the Prophet, he renamed the place to meet his desires. Not what it was, but what, with the faith and work of man, the region might become--"Nauvoo, the City Beautiful" ' (William E. Berrett, The Restored Church, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1965, p. 149)

Isn't this how we should see people as well? Who they might become--who the Lord sees that they can be? If we cannot see it, then we must pray that the spirit will either help us to see it or have faith in what we cannot see.
