Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
His grace is sufficient when we stop treating perfection like a project we must finish on our own and start bringing our whole selves to Christ. As we turn from what pulls us away from Him and love God with more of our heart, His power changes us in ways our effort alone never could.
Scripture
“Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.”—Moroni 10:32
Quote
“We may have a tendency to think we have to perfect ourselves, but that is not possible. Following every suggestion in every self-help book in the world will not bring it about. There is only one way and one name whereby perfection comes. We are “made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.” Our perfection is only possible through God’s grace.”—Paul V. Johnson, “Be Perfected in Him”

Living the Principle: His Grace is Sufficient
- Choose one habit, thought pattern, or distraction that is pulling your heart away from Christ, and make one small change today. Do not try to fix everything at once; start with the one thing the Spirit brings to mind.
- Set aside a few quiet minutes to pray honestly about where you feel weak or unfinished. Ask God to help you trust His grace instead of relying only on your own effort.
- Look for one way to show your love for God through action today. Serve someone, forgive someone, keep a prompting, or choose obedience in a moment when it would be easier not to.
