I would that you should be perfect, as I am, as your father in heaven is perfect. Declare with authority that JC is model to be followed. This seems impossible at first. Appears possible when we realize we are not alone. We have powerful help available.
Heavenly father helps us. Always willing to forgive errors and weaknesses. He provides us consequences, atonement. JC was obedient to do father's will. Lord revealed to JS, if you keep my commandments and endure, you will have eternal life. We will be with father and families forever. Isn't this the greatest incentive? In the restoration, the lord said, serve with might mind and strength so you will stand blameless before god.
Blessings come to those who give all. Blessings subject to faith, obedience, and diligence. Lord doesn't expect too much. To be perfect encourages us to be our best, and realize our potential. He knows our capacities and limitations. The challenge to be perfect is for everyone. Man cannot run faster than he has strength. Win the prize thru diligence. God cannot accept less than our best. Let us always give the best we can.
Do the best we can in families and callings. Nothing is possible without atonement, we owe JC. We have to do our part; it is by grace we are saved after all we can do. Let us do all within our reach. Partake worthily of the sacrament. Do the best we can as spouses, parents, callings, in sharing the gospel, in rescuing those who have drifted (WTF? I AM NOT A DRIFTER).
Perfection can appear impossible, but saviour assures us it is possible. Gospel has been restored, JS restored church, we have prophets to direct us on road to return. Monson called, he is a prophet.
