The cosmic kaleidoscope

I’ve started reading through personalfinance.byu.edu in an attempt to get my finances in order again, and I came across this quote:

We see the world and the people in it differently, because, as C.S. Lewis observed, it is by the light and illumination of the gospel that we see everything else… The gospel is like the lens of a cosmic kaleidoscope that, instead of showing life, man, and the universe as senseless, unconnected fragments, shows us pattern, beauty, and purpose! It is this vision that can give us a special sense of proportion about the things in life that matter most… This perspective can make so many differences in so many ways that, unintentionally, we may be unconscious of the implications of our difference in outlook. (Neal A. Maxwell, “Talk of the Month,” New Era, May 1971, 28.)
