What does Jesus expect of you? 

This month, I’m going to refer to an article from the April 2025 issue of For the Strength of Youth magazine: Are You Expecting More of Yourself than the Savior Does?

• Do you feel you don’t deserve God’s love?

• Do you think the commandments have to be followed “just right”?
