• The Savior desires to save us from our inadequacies as well as our sins. Inadequacy is not the same as being sinful - we have far more control over the choice to sin than we may have over our innate capacity. . . .

Still, after all we can do, the Atonement can fill that which is empty, straighten our bent parts, and make strong that which is weak.
