Confessions of a Recovering Perfectionist – Part 97

The Imperfect Harvest

This month, I recommend a talk from the recent General Conference: Elder Vern P. Stanfill’s “The Imperfect Harvest.” Here’s a short excerpt. 

Remember that perfectionism is not the same as being perfected in Christ. Perfectionism requires an impossible, self-inflicted standard that compares us to others. This causes guilt and anxiety and can make us want to withdraw and isolate ourselves. Becoming perfected in Christ is another matter. It is the process—lovingly guided by the Holy Ghost—of becoming more like the Savior.
