“Perfect people don’t need a Savior. God gives us weakness so we can rely on Christ.”

Be Patient with Yourself

President Russell M. Nelson

“Be patient with yourself. Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life. Don’t demand things that are unreasonable. But demand of yourself improvement. As you let the Lord help you through that, He will make the difference.”

President Russell M. Nelson, “Men’s Hearts Shall Fail Them” (video), ChurchofJesusChrist.org/media-library.
