Relief Society presidents can be rude.
Bosses can be inconsistent.
Friends can be selfish.
Spouses can be forgetful.
Prophets (like Moroni admits) can have terrible writing or speaking skills.
It’s all normal.
In church, we like to say, “Nobody’s perfect.”
We say it matter-of-factly, throw it into lessons and talks, and sometimes even chuckle while we say it.
But then we have to actually interact with each other!
Those imperfections can become roadblocks ranging from frustrating to full-on impossible to work with.
This is life.
But Moroni reminds us of an important element to dealing with imperfections in other people:
“Condemn me not because of mine imperfection.”(Mormon 9:31)
While we most certainly are aware of the weaknesses of the people we interact with every day, we should not CONDEMN others because of them.
Judging, criticizing, or labeling people by the worst things they’ve done isn’t what the Savior does.
We honestly just can’t avoid noticing other people’s imperfections.
But we can avoid using other people’s imperfections to condemn them.
Happy Studying!
