How we Treat Others

Thought on how we treat others

by Elder Marvin J. Ashton

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care.”

Job 1:21-22 – The Lord Gave and Hath Taken Away

21… Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

22  In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

1 Nephi 1:20 – Tender Mercies

Tender Mercies of the Lord

And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.

Religious Tolerance

Religous Tolerance / Latter-Day Pioneers
Modern-Day Church Pioneers

“With . . . joy I claim the legacies of today’s modern-day Church pioneers who live in every nation and whose own stories of perseverance, faith, and sacrifice add glorious new verses to the great chorus of the latter-day anthem of the kingdom of God. . . . “We honor and respect sincere souls from all religious, no matter where or when they lived, who have loved God, even without having the fulness of the gospel. We lift our voices in gratitude for their selflessness and courage. We embrace them as brothers and sisters, children of our Heavenly Father. “We believe that it is a fundamental human right to worship ‘Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may’ (Articles of Faith 1:11).”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Faith of Our Fathers,” Ensign, May 2008, 70
