We believe in him, but we don't trust him. We get so frightened and intimidated, so horrified, by our own imperfections that we don't see how he could possibly save us from them, and we lose faith.
"I have always had a testimony of and believed in my Savior... But now I know that he can save me that he can save me from myself, from my sins, from my weaknesses, from my lack of talent."
The only way… Is to admit our own imperfections, admit we can't be perfect on our own, and have faith in Christ our Savior.
There is no heavier yolk then the demand for perfection vs. rest, peace, easy, light in Christ.
In the gospel covenant, we exchange the burden of sin for the obligation to love him and others & to do the very best we can.
He never requires more than I can give. He does not compare me, and neither should I. Neither in being hard on myself nor in lifting myself up. We are all beggars.
