Loving & Serving Others

Joe gathered these words of counsel about serving others.

“A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.“ (John 13: 34-35)

“A friend loveth at all times, ...” (Proverbs  17:17)

 Thomas Monson’s perspective is very helpful.

“Remember that when you help another up a mountain, you are a little nearer the top yourself. Try to look at your brother or your sister in the right perspective. One man said, “I looked at my brother through the microscope of criticism, and I said, “How coarse my brother is. I looked at my brother through the telescope of scorn, and I said, “How small my brother is. Then I looked into the mirror of truth, and I said, - - - - - - - - “How like me my brother is.”  

“An attitude of love characterized the mission of the Master. He gave sight to the blind, legs to the lame, and life to the dead.”

“Perhaps when we have face-to-face contact with our Maker, we will not be asked, “How many people did you help?” In reality, you can never love the Lord until you serve Him by serving His people.”
