As I was working this morning, I was thinking about some scriptures a friend share with me a while back: D&C 50:40-41 and D&C 78:18. There's one line that really sticks out to me: "ye cannot bear all things now." I was especially thinking about how we learn and we grow line upon line, precept upon precept. It was neat to ponder on how the Lord doesn't expect perfection of us, and nor should we even when others may expect or even demand it of us. Most especially, I don't need to expect it either. I can make mistakes, I can mess up, and that does not make me a bad person, nor does it cause the Lord's love to be withdrawn from me. I'm still loved and cared about by my Heavenly Father.
It's also neat to think about how the Lord intended it to be this way, growing and learning a little at a time until the day when we get to meet him again, and He can say to us "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
Don't forget not to beat yourself up when you're imperfect, but just do the best you can, asking for God's help and thanking Him for every opportunity you receive to grow and learn. I hope that I can do this as well. Thanks everyone! Love you all!!
