Sanctification

One of my favorite qualities about Grandpa was the purpose he found in lifting others and that he always looked out for the downtrodden. It could have been a family in our neighborhood, an employee who felt a bit aloof at work, or perhaps a young man in the scout troop who hadn't any friends. If there was someone struggling, that's where you would find Grandpa.

I think there were many reasons this was the case. Certainly, Grandpa's love for his family and his desire to follow the example of Jesus Christ were significant reasons he did this. 

But Grandpa was very insightful. He saw things that evaded us. I have no doubt that he was even then helping us prepare for the challenges of our day.

We have been warned that the adversary will try to deceive and confuse even the very elect... Matthew 24:24

Yet his deceptions will not deter us. Truth exists beyond belief...even if nobody believes it, the truth remains firm.

Perfectionism takes a bad rap. Calling someone a "perfectionist" is often said derrogatorily--it's not usually meant as a compliment.

There is only One who is perfect. And gratefully, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can share his perfection until we become more like Him.

But that won't be for ions... one more reason that the Great Plan of Happiness is eternal and families are forever.

That's our purpose, and that makes all the difference.

Toxic perfectionism

What is truth?
