If only we could learn the lesson that even though we have differences the spirit of God influences us all, unless we succumb to the promptings of the adversary.
A great statesman and president who was involved in a Civil War made a statement that we could all do well to adopt. "Entre los individuos como entre las naciones, al respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz". Benito Juarez. This means that among individuals as among nations, the respect for the rights of our fellow man is peace. I remember right after the bombing of the twin towers at a devotional held in the tabernacle the sister giving the opening prayer prayed that the healing blessings of the temple would soon be available to those countries involved. Loving our friends is easy. Loving our enemies and those who despitefully use us, as Jesus commanded, is difficult, but as we see from this very touching story, not impossible.
