Urban Poly Princess

Jesus said it is easy to love those who love us; even the wicked can do that. But Jesus Christ taught a higher law. His words echo through the centuries and are meant for us today. They are meant for all who desire to His disciples. They are meant for you and me: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them who despitefully use you, and persecute you."

When our hearts are filled with the love of God, we become "kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving (each other), even as God for Christ's sake (forgave us).

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.

Excerpt from The Merciful Obtain Mercy by President Uchtdorf-April 2012 General Conference

What is it going to take for me to get over this? I can't be shaken up like this EVERY time I learn something new. This really hurts. How do I get the pure love of Christ. I know I can pray BUT that's all I have strength to do. I do have resentment and I do have wrath. I know I need to change that. I hate feeling like this. I don't have time for this. I don't like feeling horrible-hurt, resentment and hate.

When my hometeachers gave me my message I asked BUT what if it isn't my fault. They said that was mentioned in the message. I know the answer anyway. It doesn't matter whose fault it is

President Uchtdorf had questions he posed. Do you exclude, push away, or punish others because of something they have done? Do you wish to cause harm to someone?

He had more questions but these are the ones that touched me because I want to revel in those feelings that are only going to be bad for me. I am just going to keep trying to be NORMAL.
