Change is a process

Realizing that change is a process, most of us would never get angry at a seed for

 not being a flower or expect a sculptor to transform a block of marble into a

 masterpiece overnight. In each case, we acknowledge the potential and patiently

 hope for and nurture the development."

"Too many are giving up because they are tired of constantly feeling like they are falling short. They have tried in the past, but they always feel like they are just not good enough. In all cases there should never be just two options: perfection or giving up. Growth and development take time. When we understand grace, we understand that God is long-suffering, that change is a process, and that repentance is a pattern in our lives."

"The miracle of the Atonement is not just that we can live after we die but that we can live more abundantly. Scriptures make it clear that no unclean thing can dwell with God , but no unchanged thing will even want to. 

The miracle of the Atonement is not just that we can go home but that miraculously we can feel at home there."
