What can I do to show Christlike love?

It is important to understand that “everyone is in a different place along the path.” We need to recognize the needs of others around us. Everyone has struggles. Some have significant struggles that we don’t even know about. We are all loved by God. We need to try to see others through Christlike eyes. We shouldn’t “allow judgment to dictate the way we interact with people.” Life is not just “about our own progression but about helping others progress” as well. “We are placed where we are so that we can love and lift others.”

To be a disciple of Christ means that we should help others along the path. “The gospel of Jesus Christ does not marginalize people. People marginalize people. And we have to fix that. We need to be sensitive and love them and allow them the opportunity to grow and to blossom and to be their best selves. They have talents and abilities and [personalities that are] needed in the kingdom of God.” When people come to church, “they ought to feel immediately embraced and loved and lifted and inspired.” Then, when they walk out the door, they are better “because they know the Lord loves them. [And they know] they have friends in their faith” (Carol F. McConkie, “Lifting Others,” ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
