Today for my Savior, I reached out to a friend in need. She tends to stick to herself, but I know that this semester hasn't been easy for her. Because of personal circumstances, I could have chosen to be angry with her, but she's my friend and a child of God. I've noticed that personally, understanding and knowing people's weaknesses helps me to love them more. This case was no different. And as I talked to her, she opened up to me more than she ever has before. I'm grateful that I could express loves towards her as well as see a little bit more of her life. She's very special, and I'm glad that I can know her and learn from her.
I really love it when the Savior fills me with love for my spiritual brothers and sisters. When I'm willing to give my will and heart to Him, He increases my capacity to genuinely care about my fellow man. Forgiveness becomes easy, and past grievances are secondary to the well-being of another. And based on scientific studies, I'm pretty sure that charity lengthens your life too. Basically, ask your Father to help you love others more; it'll lengthen your life as well as raise its quality!
