The parable of the Good Samaritan

When the Savior taught the parable of the Good Samaritan, he was teaching us who are neighbor was and how we should treat each other.  President M. Russel Ballard in his talk, "Doctrine of Inclusion", says, "His deliberate use of Jews and Samaritans clearly teaches that we are all neighbors and that we should love, esteem, respect, and serve one another despite our deepest differences—including religious, political, and cultural differences."
We may not always understand why people act the way they do.  We cannot understand the struggles of others, but we know of the one who does understand.  Our Heavenly Father understands perfectly the struggles of each of his children.

  1. Deanna, what a comfort it is to know that the most glorious and powerful Being in the universe cares about us! I am so grateful to have the knowledge that no matter what He is there listening to me and cares enough to answer my prayers and send blessings. Thanks for sharing such a simple yet profound truth!
