Between the Reins Quotes

“I think we should strive to be more like the Savior. Look at people as who they really are: a child of God. I think if we can manage to do that, we’ll forgive more easily, settle old disputes, and be kinder with each other. Most of us are ill, my friends, and I don’t mean with a cold or cancer. I mean we’re spiritually ill, and we could all use a smile, a hug, and an understanding heart. The Savior had a unique ability to see this in every person he met. Can we do the same?” The pastor’s gaze swept the crowd. “And my dear friends, one more thing. It would be well with us if we could see others as the Lord does. But do we see ourselves that way too? Do you believe you’re a child of God, that He loves you unconditionally, that you are worth His sacrifice?”
