Expect Messy, Love Anyway

People should know better. Why are they like this?

People are struggling kids of God doing their best with what they've got. Messy is the baseline.

Expecting humans to be rational and fair is a setup for constant disappointment. Expect messy, and you'll be occasionally delighted instead of constantly furious.

Use it when: Bad drivers, flaky friends, family drama, group projects.

Backed by: Moroni 7:45 — charity "suffereth long, and is kind... is not easily provoked." It's built for long suffering because there's a lot to suffer.

What He’d say

Every person who frustrates you is my child too — mid-struggle, doing what they can with what they have. Love the way I ask: patient, kind, slow to anger. I've been that patient with you.

(His words from the passage above, spoken to you.)
