Think of others

This first quote reminds me of counsel my mission president often gave me to have a gracious heart.

"At the heart of the message of the Savior of the world is a single, glorious, wonderful, still largely untried concept. In its simplest terms the message is that we should seek to overcome the selfishness we all seem to be born with, that we should overcome human nature and think of others before self."

--James E. Faust, "A Pattern of Love," Ensign, Dec. 1999, 2

And I try, I truly do try. But I find it hard when others don't.

"If we truly understood the Atonement and the eternal value of each soul, we would seek out the wayward boy and girl and every other wayward child of God. We would help them to know of the love Christ has for them. We would do all that we can to help prepare them to receive the saving ordinances of the gospel."

--M. Russell Ballard, "The Atonement and the Value of One Soul," Ensign, May 2004, 86

 But how? I wish I knew.
