By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

According to John 13:34-35, others can know if we are disciples of Jesus Christ if we love one another.

If someone is mocked or ridiculed for the way that they dress, a disciple of Christ would perhaps offer them a hug, ears to listen, and be a friend to let them know that they are loved. If the clothes are worn or ragged, a disciple of Christ would offer that person their clothes or new ones. If they are being mocked for what it looks like, perhaps a disciple of Christ would help them have confidence in what they wear.

If someone new were to arrive in church, a disciple of Christ would have that person know how welcome they are, which is a lot! They would not be afraid to introduce themselves or greet them with sweet warmness and love. A disciple of Christ would ask them questions and if they are all alone, offer to sit next to them maybe.

Do people know that I am a disciple of Christ by the way i treat them?
No, wel I would hope so, but I am not perfect. Shpwing Christ like love towards others is hard sometimes, and in Moroni 7 it says that to gain such love, one must pray to receive it before one can show it. I am thinking of two people, actually to work on showing it better to. I am thinking of my little brother and sister. The steps I need to take would be to:

-Pray to gain more of that love
-Try to understand them
-Try to have more patience with them
-Tell them i love them every night before I go to sleep
-Ask them if they need anything throughoutthe day
-Give them hugs!
-Get to know them more

Have a great week!
