In this Church, what we know will always trump what we do
not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith. So 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
fulness 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
