“Be kind regarding human frailty – your own as well as that
of those who serve with you in a Church led by volunteer, mortal men and women.
Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all
God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He
deals with it. So should we. And when you see imperfection, remember that the
limitation is not in the divinity of the work. As one gifted writer has
suggested, when the infinite fullness is poured forth, it is not the oil’s
fault if there is some loss because finite vessels can’t quite contain it all. Those
finite vessels include you and me, so be patient and kind and forgiving.” –
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
