"I think if all men knew and understood who they are, and were aware of the divine source from whence they came,...they would have feelings of kindness and kinship for each other that would change their whole way of living and bring peace on earth."
From the Life of Joseph Fielding Smith
Giving some of the highlights of the lesson....
"If ye love me, keep my commandments" John 14:15
We are not merely friends; we are brothers and sisters, the children of God..
I believe it is our solemn duty to love one another, to believe in each other, to have faith in each other, that it is our duty to overlook the faults and the failings of each other.
There should be no faultfinding, no back-biting, no evil speaking, one against another, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We should be true to each other and to every principle of our religion and not be envious one of another. We should not be jealous one of another, nor angry with each other, and there should not arise in our hearts a feeling that we will not forgive one another our trespasses. We ought not to harbor feelings one against another, but have a feeling of forgiveness and of brotherly love and sisterly love, one for another. Let each one of us remember his or her own individual failings and weaknesses and endeavor to correct them.
Read the story on page 258-259, It's a great one. Reminds us that even though we have our faults we also have great qualities too.
We missed you if you weren't there and we hope you come join with us.
GREAT LESSON!!
