Perfection!

3 Nephi 23 is the chapter when Christ lovingly speaks to Nephi about his mistake to not record the coming about of the prophecies of .  I think it is interesting that Nephi was told earlier that his faith was so strong that Heavenly Father would allow him to perform many miracles.  So, I think it is interesting that although God gave Nephi the power to command miracles because of his exceeding faith, he wasn't perfect.  He still made mistakes and Jesus Christ still rebuked him (lovingly) to repent and improve.  I learned that we are all imperfect.  We all need to do our best in all that we do.  We may have great gifts of faith, testimony, positive attitude, leadership, etc but we still make mistakes and need to rely on the Lord to redeem us from our sins and help us to make right choices.  Jesus Christ is our friend!  He loves us and will help us to be the best we can be in life.
