The six-month pledge told his sponsor he was trying get rid of his character defects, but it was like the game of Whack-a-mole. Every time he focused on one defect at least one more would pop up. His sponsor asked him, “Didn’t you humbly ask God to remove all your character defects? Then, let Him.”
Ignore in others their defects, errors, tolerate imperfections. It won’t make your loved one a better person, but it can make you a better person.”
— Augusto Branco
I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows.
