Knowing, Loving,
and Growing
BY ELDER HANS T. BOOM
Of the Seventy
... there is no need to
constantly tell our spouse or children
how they can improve; they know that
already. It is in creating this environment of love that they will be empowered to make the necessary changes in
their lives and become better people.
In this way repentance becomes a
daily process of refining that might
include apologizing for poor behavior. I
remember and still experience situations
where I have been too quick to judge
or too slow to listen. And at the end
of the day, during my personal prayer,
I felt loving counsel from heaven to
repent and become better. The loving
environment first created by my parents,
brother, and sisters and later by my wife,
children, and friends has helped me to
become a better person.
We all know where we can do better.
There is no need to repeatedly remind
each other, but there is a need to love
and minister to each other and, in
doing so, provide a climate of willingness to change.
