Have the Courage to Be Filled with Love

Refrain from thinking you know best

Of what everyone else should do

What you should be is virtuous

And stand firm for what you know is true

It is not for us to judge

But to shine with light from above

May we each have the courage

To fill our lives with peace and love

"My earnest prayer is that you will have


***the courage required to refrain from judging others,

***the courage to be chaste and virtuous,

***and the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness.


As you do so, you will be ‘an example of the believers’ (1 Timothy 4:12), and your life will be filled with love and peace and joy."
—Thomas S. Monson, "May You Have Courage"
