Answers from an Apostle
What if I feel like I don’t measure up?
By Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
From “Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders among You,” Ensign, May 2016, 124–127, and “‘Remember Lot’s Wife’: Faith Is for the Future,” speeches.byu.edu.
Don’t give up. With the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can repent and improve.
Jesus Christ blesses those who want to improve and who try to keep the commandments. We always get credit for trying.
Everyone stumbles, but the Savior will help you get back up. He will help you repent, fix whatever you have to fix, and keep going.
So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever.
