Then Jesus Beholding Him Loved Him
By Elder S. Mark Palmer
Of the Seventy
As we learn to see others as the Lord sees them rather than with our own eyes, our love for them will grow and so will our desire to help them.
No true teaching or learning will ever occur when done in frustration or anger, and hearts will not change where love is not present.
Love should never be withdrawn when a child, friend, or family member fails to live up to our expectations.
My dear brothers and sisters, now anytime you feel you are being asked to do something hard—give up a poor habit or an addiction, put aside worldly pursuits, sacrifice a favorite activity because it is the Sabbath, forgive someone who has wronged you—think of the Lord beholding you, loving you, and inviting you to let it go and follow Him. And thank Him for loving you enough to invite you to do more.
