Behind every person

Three times in Acts Paul mentions what jesus said when He stopped Paul in the way: I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.

Behind everyone paul was mean to was Jesus.

That phrase must have haunted him and inspired the way he lived.

What to teach children

This also applies to youth.

2 Nephi 25:26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins

Teach them enough so at least they will know where to look when times get hard.

Do all you can

Do all you can to qualify for what he has in store for me.

Keep all commandments, and fully.

Holy ghost

Do I believe that the Holy Ghost can comfort me? Do I believe that He will?

Mercy and justice relationship

There needs to be both justice and mercy. You can't ref a basketball game just with mercy. There needs to be justice. And use God's laws as a basis. I dont have to decide what the commandments are.

Those who fall away

Omg. See the TG under Adversity of Individuals.

Wake up with...

Wake up with a happy expectation of the Holy Ghost. Amd what He can do for you.

Patience

We must have it in order to have patience. Four of the qualities needed for charity relate to patience in 1 Corinthians 13

Serving others

Perhaps our effort to love our enemies [Our whomever] will soften their hearts and influence them for good. Perhaps it will not. But that does not change our commitment to follow Jesus Christ.

Loving others

We are responsible for our own discipleship, and it has little—if anything—to do with the way others treat us. We obviously hope that they will be understanding and charitable in return, but our love for them is independent of their feelings toward us.

Pleasing God

This is good. Do I try to please God or others?

See 1 Nephi 6:5 and the footnotes.
