Be Ye Therefore Perfect—Eventually

October 2017 General Conference.

"nobody can shop that much"! Oh how I love this man and the gifts he has with words and abilities to interpret and expound the scriptures to be relatable to each of us. Dotted with humour and liberally sprinkled with encouragement! We must not listen to our inner critic, we just must try our best.

So thankful for this message. Coming out from under 53 years of struggling with this and this comes as I’m slowly turning the corner. Thank you President Holland ❤🙏

This man is close to perfect! He is so close to being like Jesus, and I feel that his words make me believe that I can improve every day. I love Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. I love his talks. Every one of them seems to be directed to me. And now that he has lost he beloved wife, and he's in the hospital, I'm aware that Heavenly Father could very well feel it is time for Elder Holland to come home. While I understand he has earned that privilege to join his wife, I selfishly don't want to lose him. I keep all of his talks because every word he says is important to me and to others. There are some talks that make me cry every time I hear them. Elder Holland makes me feel that I can be better. His telling me to never quit, to keep going, keeps me motivated. I love Elder Jeffrey R. Holland!

I’m a new convert. Just a one year old toddler Latter Day Saint. I have understood many mysteries of God and now better understand this conundrum of our faith much better. Like Paul who said, those things I should do I do not and those things I shouldn’t do I do. We are human but we have an Atonement that is very powerful. I am progressing. I am thankful!

I love this man who is always bold in his testimony of Jesus Christ.

I'm thankful for president Holland. He is a faithful servant of Jesus Christ and helps bring peace to my soul. He is a definite scriptorian and a Defender Of Truth

The judges on American Idol always loved saying that their favorites could "sing the phone book" and they'd love it. Well, Elder Holland could probably go up on stage and read the phone book and I'd love it, but not only does he deliver his message so well, but it always seems to be what I needed to hear. He loves to give the message of comfort to the weak, and that is certainly me.

This mesaage helped me so much this morning. I literally bully myself everytime I sin or even when I don't sin. That causes doubt, fear, anxiety, and eventually depression. This message soothed my mind and heart, and all those things left my mind. I finally feel relaxed. I wish i waired before sinning because i know God had me run across this message. He helps us even when we feel like we arent worthy.

Thank you, Elder Holland! We're praying for you! 🙏

Christ bore the burden of perfection, because He knew that there's no way that we can.

I needed this talk tonight. Elder Holland always gives such a great talk. I am a very imperfect convert going on 20 years. I am the only member in my family. It's tough. I feel I must prepare for battle everyday just to hold on. This talk was so helpful and inspiring and what I needed to hear and reflect upon. Thank you so much Elder Holland. The church is true. We have a living prophet and apostles on the earth in our day just like the days of Noah, Adam, and Abraham. The heavens are open and God lives. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He invites to come unto Him.

Such a comforting message. Thank you Elder Holland!
