“The Desires of Their Hearts Were Good”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

This principle means that when we have done all that we can, our desires will carry us the rest of the way. It also means that if our desires are right, we can be forgiven for the unintended errors or mistakes we will inevitably make as we try to carry those desires into effect. What a comfort for our feelings of inadequacy! (Pure in Heart, p. 59.)
