I am so grateful for the direction that the scriptures give me as I study and read them. This scripture is one of those that just tells me exactly what I need to do.
"And now, by beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God." (Moroni 9:6)
I like the clarity in which Mormon speaks to his son Moroni about being diligent in conquering "the enemy of all righteousness". Isn't that what the goal is for all of us? Just because someone is rude to us or is thoughtless about our feelings, or as Mormon says it, "notwithstanding their hardness", we should not treat them harshly back if we are a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
And boy is that sometimes hard "labor".
