Pray for Love

Here's a little piece of what we learned in church today:

First, I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.
-President Henry B. Eyring


I love this quote. I also think it is an important concept even for those who aren't your husband or wife. Pray to love others, especially those who you do not have the kindest feelings toward.
