There Is Always A Reason

The Savior said"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (St John 13:34) and "Judge not the ye be not judged." (Matthew 7:1)
I believe one reason He said these words was because He understood what is exemplified in this video...


The actions we sometimes choose because of our wounded hearts are not always okay and we must face the consequences of our unrighteous choices. But there is always a reason for what we chose and although no one else may ever truly understand why we did what we did, there is Someone who does know and still loves us and wants to heal our aching spirits and hearts so that we will no longer make the hurtful or annoying or unwise choices we sometimes make.

So with all of this in mind read the words of the Savior again..."A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (St John 13:34) and "Judge not the ye be not judged." (Matthew 7:1)

Kind of clears it up doesn't it? We're all in this together...

"Such a feeling of responsibility for others is at the heart of faithful...service. Our comrades are being wounded in the spiritual conflict around us...Spiritual wounds are not easily visible, except with inspired eyes." President Henry B. Eyring, "Man Down", General Conference, April 2009

I believe that we CAN have "inspired eyes". We CAN be on the Lord's errand, always remembering He is the Master Healer. We can join Him in offering a healing, loving, forgiving, patient hand to others - ALL others. (and hopefully, as we do this for others...others will do this for us.)
