   Spiritual Thoughts
Hello there! I usually don't post on Sunday, but while in church I came up with an idea. Maybe once a week I can post something uplifting and inspirational here on MyO. All of you are welcome to coment, expound, share and ask questions ^_^ What do you think?

For those who do not know yet, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormon). I realize that not everyone on MyO is Christian and that is ok, you may choose to or not to read this post. I do know that my Father in Heaven lives and so does my brother, Jesus Christ, who loves me. I also know from studying World Religions that there are common doctrines and that is what I would like to share in these post (in otherwords, I'm not doing this to force my religion on anyone, only to provide comfort incase I may help someone in thier journey of life.)

Now for some food the soul:

I was reading in 1st John this afternoon and I thought Chapter 4 verse 20 was really cool!

"If a man say, I love god, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

That last part of it really stood out (does anyone know how to do itallics in post? ~Thanks for the help TheMouse! ^_^ ~) because we are taught to love one another. God sent his Son out of love for us and Jesus suffered the Atonement for us so we could repent and return to our Heavenly Father because he loves us. The Holy Ghost helps us out of Love.

With these examples of love, I that I need to work harder with striving to love others. Love others as God and Christ loves. I can learn to love God by learning to love his creations and his children for they testify of his existence. Learning to be selfless and serve others so I may learn to love them helps make the world a better place to live in. What a beautiful world this would be if everyone could have a perfect love for one another and we all worked together in harmony!
