“The Savior taught us to love not only our friends but also
those who disagree with us—and even those who repudiate us. He said: ‘For if ye
love them which love you, what reward have ye? And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more than others?’ The Prophet Joseph Smith warned us to ‘beware
of self-righteousness’ and to enlarge our hearts toward all men and women until
we feel ‘to take them upon our shoulders.’ In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there
is no place for ridicule, bullying, or bigotry. Build more firmly your
foundation upon the rock of your Redeemer. Treasure more completely His
incomparable life and teachings. Follow more diligently His example and His
commandments. Embrace more deeply His love, His mercy and grace, and the
powerful gifts of His Atonement. ” – From “Spiritual Whirlwinds” by Neil L.
Andersen.
