Even though I'm not an active member of the church, I thank you President Nelson for this speech. What you are dealing with is a huge problem in our country. You're saying things that are not discussed nearly enough concerning all the anger and bitterness that we all have to deal with almost daily. We need more leaders like you in our world who will address these issues.
I know you have your reasons for not being active, but as someone in the fold, I would celebrate your return. May you find peace as the Savior lifts you onto his shoulders.
Shouldn’t we be thanking GOD for Jesus’ example instead of the prophet of the decade? It’s interesting how small minded this God seems to be, and instead of being unchanging and all knowing.. well, through following the “prophets” God in fact does change, regularly in fact, he also changes his mind after he’s commanded something new too… make it make sense
@@megshummy29 who said we're not thanking Jesus? I thank God for Jesus every single day. "I thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet" is a childrens' song in our church. She's quoting it. We don't worship the prophets, we worship our Heavenly Father.
My dear President Nelson, I thank God for you, your counselors and the Quorum of the Twelve. I thank Him for my membership in his Church.. These things and my family are the greatest blessings in my life.❤
I had a lose tongue and i regretted it for the rest of my life.im working really hard at it. I pray for forgiveness . Even tho i have forgiven others it doesnt mean they will ever forgive me.
But others not forgiving us isn't something that we can control. That's up to them. And it in no way invalidates our forgiveness of them because they don't reciprocate. You sound like you are well on the path. And this is a path ALL of us are on ... together. Don't be so hard and yourself. It sounds like you're doing the hard work, and doing it well. I thought I was doing all right with this subject, but I see more improvement is needed. It's OK because we have a great friend by our sides to steer us right. 😘
Sometimes the damage that's already done will not be repaired in this lifetime. The repentance process is to rectify where we stand with God and is meant to help us turn away from the natural man. The Savior invited "Go and sin no more". I've done such awful things that I lost sleep over my bad deeds for years. Finally I said that enough is enough, and it was time to do what is in my power to try and make things right. It was a slow process but I can honestly say I felt Jesus Christ physically make a difference in my life. I'm so grateful for the atonement. I know where I stand, but more importantly, God knows he can count on me to do what is right. He knows I'll still make mistakes, but he knows I'll be humble and rectify any problem I cause. I hope that you can cling to the peace that true repentance offers and find joy in life despite the awful things you have said. Waiting for others to forgive you is not what He has required of us.
Thank you for these very important and beautiful words. Let us have charity and compassion for all, loving one another. May we follow the example of Jesus Christ. Love and light to you all ❤❤❤🙏.
It’s been a battle Prophet Nelson. However I continue to push forward as much as I can .in spite of my insecurities. Please keep me on your mind. It’s hard to fight in a storm ⛈️ but I’m trying. 😢🙏🏽
Don’t give up this storm is changing you . I promise if you seek the Lord Jesus Christ, he will help you! Your burdens will be lighten. Just have faith and always look unto him . I’ll be praying for you. Remember, God only wants us to do the best we can ! 🤍🕊️🤍
Also, we are the sheep, and He is our shepherd. He will save us if we call on Him and give our troubles to Him. Heavenly Father is not willing that even one soul should be lost.
Since I heard a speaker say, “How can you say you love God but hates his brother?” I have endeavored to love my family, friends, and even strangers with kindness. I heard this talk 35 years ago. It has made such a difference in my life.
I am not a member. Surely I won’t listen to him about the church rules. His advice on this video is applicable to anyone as a decently behaved person. Unfortunately, many Christians are not well behaved.
With ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏 yes dearest president u r always right, I follow you and your 's directions, thankyou very much, U r reflector of the soul n body , therefore I off my head in the front of U. With ❤️❤️❤️ n respect n honour.
Thank you President Russell 💙💙💙the World is Blessed to have you a Prophet of God here on Earth today like from the beginning of the world he always has Prophets so through them we can know the will of God!🙏🙏🙏i love you President Russell 💙💙💙
I'm listening to this message before I go to bed it is very inspiring and educational thank you president Nelson for taking the time to share these words of wisdom 🙂🙂🙂🙂😁 this message is great for Christmas
Thank you president Nelson I love to hear your talks given in the general conference and the instructions given by you, and councilling to the youths and to everyone think celestial we are blessed to have you the prophet of God and our president Nelson to us to set an example to the world. God bless you long life President 🙏.
What a message for me and all! This is the senior formal Lord's standards bearer offering such, The Lord's Standards, I so declare. May we adopt these standards, inviting complete conversion, I implore myself and others.
Thank you for the encouraging message I am in a difficult situation regarding my family and friends but after hearing this message I will ask God for his peace to handle this situation. Thank you President Nelson
President,i love your words i have fallen victim to it and it has left an indelible mark that whenever I look at it makes me feel sad. Angar can easily kill if not well controlled.thank you so much president for your encouraging words.
Good morning President Russell Nelson, Thank you for this wonderful message, I, needed this,I could feel your SPIRIT ,when I was young ,Mama always said that I was a Peace maker. I, try very hard NOT to JUDGE. I,am a G. GrandMA raised in a Family of Twelve. Our Mama was a Peace maker, she Loved US All the same. Love You All so much. in my Prayers.
Sometimes I just need to stay in my room until I recover from attacks. Some days are just too much - like one punch after another - I never had an issue with anger until recently. Sometimes life just gets too hard.
Stay. Stay as a peace maker. I feel alone and am alone at times. But not really because that Savoir is always there. And so is the Holy Ghost and our Father. I could have used your support when l got the silent cold treatment at Thanksgiving from most of the family that was there. It is confusing to see once good people act immature. But l guess they have free will to be kind or not. I will see you someday and l hope we will be so happy to see each other because we hung in there. Stay for me. I care❤
I'm so sorry this is happening to both of you. My heart breaks for you. I pray that each of you will be helped and lifted by our Heavenly Father. I know that He knows what is going on in your lives.
This message is perfectly for me, as I fall short of love and kindness in my everyday relationships, and interactions. I come from a lineage of mental illness, addiction and domestic issues, so it cycled down to me. I believe I'm better than the generation before, but I still struggle to control my emotions, esp during stressful situations, and when things are out of my control. I have much to still change and improve. When I'm centered in the Lord/ the Word, I'm miraculously better. Worse when I'm not. I appreciate wisdom taught to me by faith. Thank you for this message! The Savior is the way to peace and change.
🙏🏻 President Nelson, A Wonderful Prophet! Peaceful, Respectful Way to Work Out Differences… Enlightened Way! Long Suffering, Patient, Respectful, Beseechingly Kind, Peacemakers. Amen. 🙏🏻🌸☀️🕊🍃
My mom always throws me under the bus. ..its hard to be around her. Most of my family thinks i am defiant but can't seem to get peace. I feel like i need a shield to protect my self everytime i am around them. Hard situation.
❤🙏🏻 You’re not alone. Turn to Jesus, repent and ask for Him to help you find the path of peace back to Him. I’m praying for you & others are too. As for others, you can’t change them, only God can. Turn away from contention once, then twice, it gets easier each time. You can do it, you are loved! Never give up! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Jesus Loves you. Remember.. “I can do all things the Christ which strengtheneth me.” - Philippians 4:13 And I’d like to share with you my favorite scripture verse that helps to ENDURE life’s challenges.. “Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many, but ENDURE THEM, for, lo, I AM WITH THEE, even unto the end of thy days.” - Doctrine & Covenants 24:8 Know that your Heavenly Father loves you, your Savior loves you, and I love you. You are NEVER alone. Even though they may treat you poorly, LOVE THEM. DO GOOD TO THEM. Everyone on this earth and that has ever lived is a child of God, including you. God wants us to love everyone no matter what they do or say about you. That’s the true love of Christ. 💖
There is a difference between allowing your mother to abuse you, by throwing you under the bus. And standing up for yourself and respecting yourself by helping her to carry her own burdens rather than blaming you.
I know it sounds totally contrary to what you must be feeling, but sincerely pray for each member of your family that does this to you. Pray for good things in their lives. Pray for them to be successful. Pray for them to heal and soften their hearts. I have done this, not with family members, but with people who have hurt me. I pray for good things in their lives and soon, the hurt is gone and I feel love and forgiveness toward them.
I deal with this from my spouse daily. Its so debilitating and discouraging. I pray for him, try to calm him, pray for his contentious spirit, the cussing and anger towards almost everyone , its exasperating. I continue but I wonder how long i can endure.
I will forever be greatful to a Prophet of God . Uplifting and chastening reminder of whom we are and needed to become as a true followers of Jesus Christ Thank you
I am thankful that you are aware I practice being good to all no matter their actions unfortunately I receive more grief & harm I will keep on being kind good & respectful to those who lack in whatever it is I realize it’s not me I don’t expect my rewards on Earth I know my reward will be in Heaven with God whatever unjust is done too me it cannot take away my love for the Lord I proved that more times than I could count I’ve prayed so many times & will continue to pray for people to be kind to other it doesn’t cost a thing I will never understand the meanness of other
I just come back ate some left over and in my bed listening to what Our Loving Prophet is focussing on for us now! Because I am so Imperfect! Loving you my dearest Sister and best friend! Loving Sister Paongo.
I unfriended people on social media who want to fight about politics. It isn’t because I don’t like them, but they are in my ward congregation and I have to work with these people. I wanted to have good will for them in spite of our differences. A thought came to mind that if I was standing in prayer circles at the temple would I feel contentious towards them.
Politics is literally man's replacement for religeon. The founders of communism meant for politics to replace faith in God so the people of the earth could be educated and controlled by principles that are not of God. To argue over politics is to play into the hands of those who's goal it is to create a Godless society.
You should pray for them they are your brothers and sisters in crist love them just because you have a different of opinions on certain things still love each other and try to understand
I understand people stepping aside from church. I still cherish my membership. I have had and moved away from people in church who have accused me of 3 things in which I had nothing to do with. Years later they found out whom it was! This caused me anxiety and depression (p.t.s.d.). So now I watch church on zoom and online. I'm still visited by members and my records are in a ward. My point is to keep your heart, soul, and mind on Jesus Christ, and study. Don't let others take that from you!
For women in abusive marriage within our church please know that "turn the other cheek", "love your enemy" are not statements advocating tolerance of abuse. God does not want you to suffer the abusive words and actions of a spouse. Abuse can be physical threat, yelling, name calling, belittling,. Spiritual abuse can look like prevention of practice your belief or holding you to unrealistic spiritual standards, making judgment or fun of the way you try to implement religious practices such as pray, read scriptures hold family night. You are not to tolerate this behavior. If you've changed your ways, your personality, feel you need to walk on egg shells, afraid you can do nothing "right" then consider you maybe suffering from verbal abuse, or manipulation. The Lord wants you to grow spiritually, wisely, the Lord wants you to feel peace, love and protected. if your environment prevents you from feeling God's unconditional love consider needing a new environment. When women leave and start to heal that is when the "love your enemy" come in to play, to help you heal. Not to keep you there. The scriptures on turn the cheek does not mean you allow abuse to keep happening. Sometimes your turning the cheek as you walk away. You deserve peace, love and safety. God wants you to feel peace, he sent the prince of peace. You can not be a peace maker in an emotionally toxic environment. Please I beg you to seek help. I left after 10 years. I didn’t need to loose my religion. It wasn't the church teaching. It's the way we think. Some of us grew up being taught that it's our jobs to keep our spouse "happy" but that is not scriptures that is not true. We are not Jesus, we do not need to save our spouse either. That's Jesus job. We are meant to have a partnership in our journey to grow closer to our savior. The prophet words are true, don't let toxic relationship twisted thinking keep you stuck. I pray for you. My strength is yours. to know if I can do it, you can do it too. 💪 ❤
How are we to treat people who behave unprofessionally with Christlike compassion? Or those who say obscene things to attempt to seduce us, or who are bent on teaching our children false and even filthy things? I think saying, "You've lost sleep, it seems. You're under great strain. Is there anything I can do to ease what you're going through?", MIGHT be appreciated, and considered kind and appropriate. Other times when Tension or Adversity is too extreme to put up with it or STAND it, like Joseph of Egypt with Potipher's wife, it seems the best thing to do is to just GET OUT of that situation IMMEDIATELY, ( of course not sans apparel if possible when acting IMMEDIATELY. chuckle...) It's situations like this that make one wish one could watch Christ's mortality Times like a movie, over and over, studying Him. He did express long-suffering or "impatience" when His closest fellow Kingdom builders were selfish and shallow in thinking. He did rarely lose His temper "righteously," such as in the Temple. His divine Judgement makes me feel awe and hungry to watch or study His ways of thinking, and to comprehend His perfect motives and attitudes better. I hope we'all can just keep working on these types of understanding as much as we can, every day.
I know that he is saying nothing but the truth but I have a very hard time loving those who has harmed or used me. That is what I find impossible. I will continue to work on it but I don't know if IWill ever succeed.
Dorris, I know where you are standing, because I am walking with you. I had just had a major surgery to fuse my ankle in 2021 and nearly died from a staphylococcus infection. I had recently been diagnosed with Extreme Post Traumatic Stress and Anxiety Disorder. When I got home in May of 2021 my newly assigned Bishop spent the rest of the year making me worse without ever meeting me once. He never interviewed me, yet told me I was not reading my scriptures daily. He informed me that as long as he is Bishop, he will see to it that I will never receive any aid physical, neither financial. I am extremely grateful for the Catholic and Nudist charities because otherwise I quite literally would have starved to death or be dead without them. I have requested for missionaries to do monthly visits, and He has made sure that those were discontinued even though I have requested them through the web and the 1-800 number, and I am medically home bound for medical reasons, and am bound to a wheelchair. No one in the local area of the church here in Chandler, AZ is willing to have anything to do with me based on the ugly things the Bishop has said. The Bishop who never choose to interview me. The Bishop who chose to deny my temple recommend being renewed and who refused to come to my home with his Bishopric to do it when I am medically home bound, since six months prior to COVID starting. On thing I can promise you Dorris, is that it does not matter what all these other people think nor say. I know I have The teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are true. I know that the Prophet standing at the head of the Church is called of God. I know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Live. I know they want us all to strive to return to them, enduring each moment until we are called to return to them, remembering that this life is but a moment, not of sorrow, but of test of balance. Have wonderful pleasures of love, joy, happiness, rejoicing, praise, means we also have to experience, sadness, pain, sorrow, and loss. Jesus Christ can help us remember and savor the pleasures of life and help us find Peace, especially when we feel like we have to walk alone at time, when in truth we can even find peaceful rest while our Savior carries us a time until we are able to walk with him again.
Now that is a prophet how I wish we all lived and honored Christ I read the only comment below and my heart brakes for her I wish someone like Elon Musk would find her and help.I'm 100% disabled and homebound and watch a lot of videos and documentary I pray for her and anyone that can help her. Thank you
It's easy to forget that even the brethren have to work out the burrs on individuals having free agency. They are charged with working things out in their minds and then seeking confirmation from the spirit same as you and me. Every time I think I have free agency figured out, I step in a pothole and have to stop and look around.
Even though I'm not an active member of the church, I thank you President Nelson for this speech. What you are dealing with is a huge problem in our country. You're saying things that are not discussed nearly enough concerning all the anger and bitterness that we all have to deal with almost daily. We need more leaders like you in our world who will address these issues.
That's awesome that you see the good in him and his message. I appreciate your words!
I was not active for 5 years and once I returned I felt home. Come back as your spirit needs spiritual food
I know you have your reasons for not being active, but as someone in the fold, I would celebrate your return. May you find peace as the Savior lifts you onto his shoulders.
“HOW we treat each other REALLY matters.” Amen.
Absolutely 💯 %

Thank you dear President Nelson. I needed this loving reminder ❤️
I love you President Russell M Nelson
I believe he is a good surgeon because the love of Christ is living in him. His advice is precious to everyone.
@Amp661 You just said a bad surgeon. Hmm!
I am scared by a surgeon with a hot temper throwing thing at others. I don’t have confidence in such a surgeon.
I am not a member. Surely I won’t listen to him about the church rules. His advice on this video is applicable to anyone as a decently behaved person. Unfortunately, many Christians are not well behaved.
@@GODISMYSTERIOUSyes, we need this advice most of all! Most of us are trying. With Christ as our exemplar, we can hope to get better at it. 😊
@@GODISMYSTERIOUS With so much content to watch & listen to. Since you're not a member, why did you listen to this talk?

Thank you President Nelson
Thank you.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year. G
It’s so hard when you feel so wronged and you want to be angry or say things bc you’re just angry that someone who loved you could hurt you even more
I unfriended people on social media who want to fight about politics. It isn’t because I don’t like them, but they are in my ward congregation and I have to work with these people. I wanted to have good will for them in spite of our differences. A thought came to mind that if I was standing in prayer circles at the temple would I feel contentious towards them.
Politics is literally man's replacement for religeon. The founders of communism meant for politics to replace faith in God so the people of the earth could be educated and controlled by principles that are not of God. To argue over politics is to play into the hands of those who's goal it is to create a Godless society.
You should pray for them they are your brothers and sisters in crist love them just because you have a different of opinions on certain things still love each other and try to understand
Beautiful words!!!
Thanks for listening
Every centurion I've ever met have the attributes described here by our inspired prophet
Thanks for such words, great prophet.
I understand people stepping aside from church. I still cherish my membership. I have had and moved away from people in church who have accused me of 3 things in which I had nothing to do with. Years later they found out whom it was! This caused me anxiety and depression (p.t.s.d.). So now I watch church on zoom and online. I'm still visited by members and my records are in a ward.
My point is to keep your heart, soul, and mind on Jesus Christ, and study. Don't let others take that from you!
Actions speak louder than words
Amen Sir
For women in abusive marriage within our church please know that "turn the other cheek", "love your enemy" are not statements advocating tolerance of abuse. God does not want you to suffer the abusive words and actions of a spouse. Abuse can be physical threat, yelling, name calling, belittling,. Spiritual abuse can look like prevention of practice your belief or holding you to unrealistic spiritual standards, making judgment or fun of the way you try to implement religious practices such as pray, read scriptures hold family night. You are not to tolerate this behavior. If you've changed your ways, your personality, feel you need to walk on egg shells, afraid you can do nothing "right" then consider you maybe suffering from verbal abuse, or manipulation. The Lord wants you to grow spiritually, wisely, the Lord wants you to feel peace, love and protected. if your environment prevents you from feeling God's unconditional love consider needing a new environment. When women leave and start to heal that is when the "love your enemy" come in to play, to help you heal. Not to keep you there. The scriptures on turn the cheek does not mean you allow abuse to keep happening. Sometimes your turning the cheek as you walk away. You deserve peace, love and safety. God wants you to feel peace, he sent the prince of peace. You can not be a peace maker in an emotionally toxic environment. Please I beg you to seek help. I left after 10 years. I didn’t need to loose my religion. It wasn't the church teaching. It's the way we think. Some of us grew up being taught that it's our jobs to keep our spouse "happy" but that is not scriptures that is not true. We are not Jesus, we do not need to save our spouse either. That's Jesus job. We are meant to have a partnership in our journey to grow closer to our savior. The prophet words are true, don't let toxic relationship twisted thinking keep you stuck. I pray for you. My strength is yours. to know if I can do it, you can do it too. 💪 ❤
AMEN!!!
Love the President Nelson!!!!
A great man he is a teacher
I knew an OB/GYN. He had just delivered a baby. He got mad at one of the nurses and threw the placenta at her. I pray for you daily
I have seen two Dr.s completely screaming at those near them in anger. I thought how immature they were and hurtful.
@@lindamoses3697 ... not to mention unprofessional.
How are we to treat people who behave unprofessionally with Christlike compassion? Or those who say obscene things to attempt to seduce us, or who are bent on teaching our children false and even filthy things? I think saying, "You've lost sleep, it seems. You're under great strain. Is there anything I can do to ease what you're going through?", MIGHT be appreciated, and considered kind and appropriate. Other times when Tension or Adversity is too extreme to put up with it or STAND it, like Joseph of Egypt with Potipher's wife, it seems the best thing to do is to just GET OUT of that situation IMMEDIATELY, ( of course not sans apparel if possible when acting IMMEDIATELY. chuckle...) It's situations like this that make one wish one could watch Christ's mortality Times like a movie, over and over, studying Him. He did express long-suffering or "impatience" when His closest fellow Kingdom builders were selfish and shallow in thinking. He did rarely lose His temper "righteously," such as in the Temple. His divine Judgement makes me feel awe and hungry to watch or study His ways of thinking, and to comprehend His perfect motives and attitudes better. I hope we'all can just keep working on these types of understanding as much as we can, every day.

Amen 🙏
I know that he is saying nothing but the truth but I have a very hard time loving those who has harmed or used me. That is what I find impossible. I will continue to work on it but I don't know if IWill ever succeed.
I just love you!
I live in Mo and the ward here has totally have chosen to ignored me. Please President Oaks pray for me. To make the heart be forgive them
Be outwardly upbeat and friendly. Smile! 18:47
Dorris, I know where you are standing, because I am walking with you.
I had just had a major surgery to fuse my ankle in 2021 and nearly died from a staphylococcus infection. I had recently been diagnosed with Extreme Post Traumatic Stress and Anxiety Disorder.
When I got home in May of 2021 my newly assigned Bishop spent the rest of the year making me worse without ever meeting me once.
He never interviewed me, yet told me I was not reading my scriptures daily. He informed me that as long as he is Bishop, he will see to it that I will never receive any aid physical, neither financial. I am extremely grateful for the Catholic and Nudist charities because otherwise I quite literally would have starved to death or be dead without them. I have requested for missionaries to do monthly visits, and He has made sure that those were discontinued even though I have requested them through the web and the 1-800 number, and I am medically home bound for medical reasons, and am bound to a wheelchair.
No one in the local area of the church here in Chandler, AZ is willing to have anything to do with me based on the ugly things the Bishop has said. The Bishop who never choose to interview me. The Bishop who chose to deny my temple recommend being renewed and who refused to come to my home with his Bishopric to do it when I am medically home bound, since six months prior to COVID starting.
On thing I can promise you Dorris, is that it does not matter what all these other people think nor say. I know I have The teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are true. I know that the Prophet standing at the head of the Church is called of God. I know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Live. I know they want us all to strive to return to them, enduring each moment until we are called to return to them, remembering that this life is but a moment, not of sorrow, but of test of balance. Have wonderful pleasures of love, joy, happiness, rejoicing, praise, means we also have to experience, sadness, pain, sorrow, and loss.
Jesus Christ can help us remember and savor the pleasures of life and help us find Peace, especially when we feel like we have to walk alone at time, when in truth we can even find peaceful rest while our Savior carries us a time until we are able to walk with him again.

Now that is a prophet how I wish we all lived and honored Christ I read the only comment below and my heart brakes for her I wish someone like Elon Musk would find her and help.I'm 100% disabled and homebound and watch a lot of videos and documentary I pray for her and anyone that can help her. Thank you
Neal, saw this all the way out on the Olympic peninsula! From elder and sister Rainey!
Wait Father I love you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
It's easy to forget that even the brethren have to work out the burrs on individuals having free agency. They are charged with working things out in their minds and then seeking confirmation from the spirit same as you and me. Every time I think I have free agency figured out, I step in a pothole and have to stop and look around.
love subtitles
I agree, especially for my deaf family members
A man of God.
I am trying to love my neighbor even though they continue to steal what I need from me
What results have you had with law enforcement helping you?
Turning the cheek also means walking away.
True!
If only our country was ran like our church.
