Contemplating Things

You know, I really should post more often, especially when fascinating thoughts enter my head like this one:

"The Lord has called us in our weakness, but he qualifies us for his work."

Seriously, Joseph Smith is pretty awesome. That one simple phrase has really struck me this week and made me reevaluate certain things in my life, like the fact that I don't think I'll ever be qualified to do anythings special or magnificent in this church. Well, forget that! Joseph said that any one of us is capable of great things. The Lord takes care of our short comings and qualifies us to perform his work. I guess I never really thought about the significance of that statement. I mean how else would he be able to get anything done? NONE of us are perfect...nope not even the Prophet (though he's probably closer than most of us) and we shouldn't expect to be perfect if the Lord doesn't expect it! Goodness and here I've been fretting over the fact that I make mistakes (I'll probably continue to do that but, at least it's a little less harsh for me to realize I'll never be perfect). The Lord loves me and my imperfect knowledge, and faith and actionsn. He loves me for me. He just loves ME!
