Love one another

In Matthew 22:39 Jesus said that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. This is kind of tricky if we don't have much respect for our self. It is interesting that both quotes tonight follow this theme.

"Joseph Smith himself was a great friend to many. He said, 'Friendship is one of the grand fundamental principles of "Mormonism"; [it is designed] to revolutionize and civilize the world, and cause wars and contentions to cease and men to become friends and brothers.'"

--Kathleen H. Hughes, "What Greater Goodness Can We Know: Christlike Friends," Ensign, May 2005, 74

My thoughts on this is it shouldn't be just "Mormonism" but all of Christianity. We need to live the Golden Rule, treat others as we want to be treated.

"Kindness, love, patience, understanding, and unity will increase as we serve, while intolerance, jealousy, envy, greed, and selfishness decrease or disappear. The more we give of ourselves, the more our capacity to serve, understand, and love will grow."

--Carlos H. Amado, "Service, a Divine Quality", Ensign, May 2008, 35–37
