1 Corinthians 13:9-11 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
God has a grand eternal plan for all of us and we muck through it the
best we can as mortals. We 'know in part' God's plan and 'we see (God's
plan) through a glass, darkly' but we cannot truly comprehend the
enormity of God's work of encouraging all our spiritual sisters and
brothers into glorious eternal life.
In May 1842, Joseph Smith told Brigham Young, “This is not arranged right, but we have done the best we could under the circumstances in which we are placed, and I wish you to take this matter in hand and organize and systematize....”
God is working with fallible people which must be somewhat frustrating. Most of us are striving to do 'the best we (can) under the circumstances in which we are placed' but we all mess up. Sometimes our mistakes are made public while most are more private mistakes. When in doubt turn to love- the pure love of our Heavenly Parents and our Savior, charity. The love that knows all and loves all. Turn to charity for peace and direction and you will be guided and comforted.
