President
Uchtdorf:
“When it
comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting
to cause harm, please apply the following:
“Stop it!
“It’s that
simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts
and feelings with a heart full of love for God and His children. …
“Because we
all depend on the mercy of God, how can we deny to others any measure of the
grace we so desperately desire for ourselves? …
“The pure
love of Christ can remove the scales of resentment and wrath from our eyes,
allowing us to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees us: as flawed and
imperfect mortals who have potential and worth far beyond our capacity to
imagine. Because God loves us so much, we too must love and forgive each other”
(“The Merciful Obtain Mercy,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 75–76).
