Then I read Uchtdorf's "The Merciful Shall Obtain Mercy," and it was so powerful and moving. Do I forgive? Am I the kind of person who forgives? I need to forgive. I need to think about the beams in my eye, and about the imperfections and sins that Jesus forgives in me. I need to show love to others and remember that maybe I am supposed to love them and help them. I need to fill my body and heart with love for God and let that govern my feelings and thoughts and actions.

Between he and thee alone
D&C 28:11 talks about Joseph Smith and how he needed to talk to Hiram Page, a man who purported to be receiving revelation through a stone, his fault. The Lord told Joseph to go to him alone, essentially to not make the issue public. I think this is important, and a good principle. I need to approach people directly and not talk about them with others or make them look bad. He footnote leads to Matthew 18:15: ¶Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
