Pure Love: The True Sign of Every True Disciple of Jesus Christ
By Elder Massimo De Feo Of the Quorum of the Seventy

Watched a video on love in our marriages:

How does service make you feel?

What does it mean to be a true disciple of christ?

How do we do a better job of forgiving?

When we forgive someone it’s something we do for ourselves. Holding a grudge is drinking poison and hoping the other person will die.

Bro. Hafen:

    His brother sent him a talk..."Be 100% Responsible."

    Write down all your problems on half the piece of paper. Then on the other half write down your responses. Rip it in half and just keep the side of how you react. That’s all you have control over.

Dave Wirthlin:

    Perspective. Ask yourself. Why does that bother me so much? Will that bother me in 10 days? If not then let it go. If it will then you need to address it.

Jake Carter:

    The concept of fairness in his household and the idea that the world has to be just. He sat down with his family and discussed how Christ handled fairness.  Was it fair for him? Then he asked them to think about where do you live, what you eat, what you have, we have so so much that really we don’t have the right to talk about fairness. We are blessed beyond measure.

Bro. Clyde:

    As you struggle to forgive someone you backslide. You find you have to forgive over and over again.

“True disciples love to submit themselves to the Lord with humble heart…” Quote from the talk. True disciples know it’s not always what we want but rather what the Lord wants for us.

Pure love Is the true sign of every disciple of Jesus Christ….story of his mother dying and praying for his son. (In the talk)

Mike Alder:

Went on his mission without a testimony. But praying for others with all his heart...the spirit was poured down upon him...the spirit said “finally you have figured it out. I want you to love others, not yourself.”

Are we doing all we can to love our wives and nourish that relationship?
Great discussion Troy! Thank you for your preparation and testimony.
