Today's Favorite Verse: Ezekiel 28:15
"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
I pondered on how that is the nature of man. Only one man has ever walked this earth perfectly, and He was part God. Only Jesus Christ was perfect, and as such he alone could make the infinite atonement for all of us. We can become perfect in Christ, being made clean again as we repent of our sins. It's important to do so every day.
"Do not expect to become perfect at once. If you do, you will be disappointed. Be better today than you were yesterday, and be better tomorrow than you are today. The temptations that perhaps partially overcome us today, let them not overcome us so far tomorrow. Thus continue to be a little better day by day; and do not let your life wear away without accomplishing good to others as well as to ourselves."
(Lorenzo Snow, "Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow" (2012), 103.) (Improvement Era, July 1901, 714.)
