Turning the other cheek
I got some more practice at turning the other cheek today. Uuugghhh. It is so hard to do sometimes but I know it is what the Savior expects of us. I had to go back and read the counsel straight from his mouth. 27 ¶ But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. — Luke 6:27-31. I dunno about you but this one has always been one of the harder ones for me. I have to really work at it. Counting to 10,000 helps. I also tend to refer to this guy when someone has gotten me hot under the collar. Elder David Bednar (...
