3 Nephi 14:12

"Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets."
3 Nephi 14:12


Sometimes we get overwhelmed with all the different things that we have to do to be "obedient" and good. :)  So sometimes God reminds us that actually, if we could just get the basics down, then everything else would fall into place.  This is one of those scriptures.  If we could just master treating other people as we would like to be treated... forgiving people as we would like to be forgiven... spending time with people as we would like people to spend time with us.  talk to people as we would like them to talk to us... love people as we would like to be loved... if we could just do this one thing, loving our neighbors... then all the rest of it would just happen as a natural result.  And what a difference in the world.  Who would go hungry if we were seriously feeding others as we would like to be fed?  Who would be alone if we were welcoming others into our lives the way that we would like them to welcome us into their lives?  Let's just try to do this one thing today. :)
