The Savior taught us to be kind to one another. He, who was despised, hated, persecuted, beaten, and eventually killed, still exemplified kindness. We can choose to be kind in our interactions with family, friends, and neighbors. It isn't always easy, especially when others are unkind to us.
This lesson can help us reflect on how we can be Christlike to others even with our words.
