Savior May I Learn to Love Thee

I think I have been focusing on the wrong thing with speaking no ill of others. Although it has been a useful and a valuable lesson to learn the song "Nay Speak No Ill," I still have found it hard to apply it fully. I realized that it's been hard because I have been focusing on not saying bad things--an inaction--instead of focusing on serving and loving and obeying Jesus--an action. So, I'm going to start working on "Lord I Will Follow Thee" in addition.

The Lord was testing me this weekend, and I failed the test. I had a lot of animosity in my heart toward others. It was an awful feeling, but I couldn't eschew it, even though I wanted to. I need to (1) repent and (2) focus on the Savior more. 

I also learned something else about Heavenly Father's love for His children. I saw something unkind about Jesus today. It broke my heart. And I can't inagine what Heavenly Father thinks and feels when He sees hints like that all over from His children. Yet, He still loves them and blesses them with breath, life's things that make them happy... I should have that kind of love for those who offend me.
