Attempting the Impossible

My thought son Elder Zeballos' talk "Attempting the Impossible"

We are all attempting the impossible: PERFECTION! But thankfully the being who commanded us to be perfect not only provided the way, but also is merciful. But he does require us to be working towards it.

"The Lord does not expect that we do what we cannot achieve. The command to become perfect, as He is, encourages us to achieve the best of ourselves, to discover and develop the talents and attributes with which we are blessed by a loving Eternal Father, who invites us to realize our potential as children of God. He knows us; He knows of our capacities and our limitations. The invitation and challenge to become perfect, to achieve eternal life is for all mankind."

This whole talk was about hope.

"As we do so, we will be fulfilling the requirements defined by our Father in Heaven to bless us more than ever before, in this life as much as in life in the eternities. He yearns to give us all that He has, even make us participants of His greatest gift, which is eternal life."

What a Father. Even though all of us will fall short of perfection and we will disappoint Him time and time again, He will bless us. He will bless us for our obedience, our diligence and sometimes because someone else is praying for us.

I think those fact are so beautiful.
