Provide a glimpse

Hi! Here is my intent:
When something provide a glimpse Is it that the thing makes the issue clearer ? Like here, from the Web: PLoS Computational Biology: Sm/Lsm Genes Provide a Glimpse into ...
Could somebody provide or catch a glimpse of someone intentions?
or If you are outside a house, could you have a glimpse of its inside?

Please, mark all my mistakes and give me some examples. I am learning

and English is rather difficult!!!!

Hi, A 'glimpse' is a brief, partial view of something. eg I got a glimpse of Obama as his car drove by. eg He always smiles and seems friendly, but I got a glimpse of his real character when I heard him speak unkindly to his mother on the phone.
