Ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.
Doctrine & Coverage 78:18
It feels like 193 years later we are still not able to bear all things now. The fact is that we are still seeking to understand the proper order and practice for beginning one and ensuring that we no longer have any poor among us—not by casting out the poor but by lifting them up.
On the other hand, I take comfort in the promise that “{the Lord} will lead you along” because insofar as we allow ourselves to be led by Him we cannot go amiss.
