As a father, I look on everything my children do with a mixture of amazement and joy. Even a dirty diaper is magical because is means that everything is working just the way it should be. I wonder if the Lord looks on my sins the same way I look at dirty diapers? In one sense, it is an absolutely normal part of life: we can't be living and human and not sin (Ether 3: 2). At the same time, “the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.”(Alma 45: 16)
For the Lord, victory is when we come to Him and ask to be changed.
