Learn to listen, and listen to learn from neighbors. Repeatedly the Lord has said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor.” Opportunities to listen to those of diverse religious or political persuasion can promote tolerance and learning. And a good listener will listen to a person’s sentiments as well . . . The wise listen to learn from neighbors.

“Listen to Learn,” Ensign, vol 21, page 22, Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1991

Perhaps the Lord needs such men on the outside of His Church to help it along. They are among its auxiliaries, and can do more good for the cause where the Lord has placed them, than anywhere else. And the same is true of the priesthood and its auxiliaries inside the Church.

I have sometimes wondered what would have happened if Nephi had asked the Lord for tools instead of a place to find the ore to make the tools. I doubt the Lord would have honored Nephi’s request. You see, the Lord knew that Nephi could make the tools, and it is seldom the Lord will do something for us that we can do for ourselves.

Joseph SmithJoseph Smith

A person filled with the love of God is not content with blessing their family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.
