Day 81

Read: 3 Nephi 13-16

Mark: 3 Nephi 15:21, 24

“Aren’t we rather prone to see the limitations and weaknesses of our neighbors? Yet that is contrary to the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ…If we have the spirit of fault finding…that never comes as the result of the companionship of the Spirit of our Heavenly Father and is always harmful.”
~ President George Albert Smith

The Savior gave teachings to the Nephites similar to the Sermon on the Mount. He warned not to judge. What helps you to always look for the best in others and not be critical?

*I have a difficult time not being critical especially with myself.  I am harder on myself than anybody else is on me. I am also critical of other people.  I tend to believe that if I can do something they should be able to also.  That is not Christlike and I know it.  People have their own trials and their own abilities.  There are many things I succeed in, but just as many that I don't.  I am trying to be more forgiving and less critical by praying for it and by reading the scriptures.  I also try to see people as Heavenly Father sees them and not as the world sees them.
