R.S. Lesson: Nov 26, 2017

"Then Jesus Beholding Him Loved Him"

Last Sunday, Sister Nickerson's lesson was on this talk by Elder Palmer, from the April 2017 General Conference.

Anytime you feel you are being asked to do something hard, think of the Lord beholding you, loving you, and inviting you to follow Him. 

Elder Palmer has "learned many life-changing lessons from [a] deeply personal experience with Mark chapter 10." Four of these lessons are:

"1. As we learn to see others as the Lord sees them rather than with our own eyes, our love for them will grow and so will our desire to help them.
 2. No true teaching or learning will ever occur when done in frustration or anger, and hearts will not change where love is not present.
3. Love should never be withdrawn when a child, friend, or family member fails to live up to our expectations.
 4. Because He loves us, the Lord expects much of us."

Have you ever had an experience where you needed to show love, regardless of someone's actions toward you?
