We have to have a heart that loves everyone, even if you don't love their behavior or action. Sometimes this can be hard. However, as we nurture a heart that a testimony can take root in we will be able to love everyone. Nurture your own heart. Nurture the hearts of those around you. H. Burke Peterson gave some steps to help in this process:
- Look for the good in each person, and mention it in a sincere and consistent way.
- Create an atmosphere where judging is held in reserve until anger has subsided, until the hurt has dissipated, until all sides of an issue have been explored.
- Listening is a part of showing love.
- Love is spoken in prayer (Preparing the Heart).
Nurturing. It has such a role. We have to nurture our hearts so it is soft and fertile for a testimony to take root.
