In the Old Testament I read that when the Jews found out about the king's decree to have they all destroyed, they mourned and fasted. You can imagine how distressed they would feel when receiving this terrible news. Esth. 4: 3 "And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes."
In the D&C we read about how the dead will be resurrected and the righteous will be made partakers of glory and will sing the song of the Lamb day and night. For this cause the Lord sent forth the fulness of the gospel and His everlasting covenant in plainness and simplicity. D&C 133: 56-57 "And the graves of the saints shall be opened; and they shall come forth and stand on the right hand of the Lamb, when he shall stand upon Mount Zion, and upon the holy city, the New Jerusalem; and they shall sing the song of the Lamb, day and night forever and ever. And for this cause, that men might be made partakers of the glories which were to be revealed, the Lord sent forth the fulness of his gospel, his everlasting covenant, reasoning in plainness and simplicity—"
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that love is patient, humble, and kind. Is this the way we act with people we love? Or do we sometimes treat them unkindly and are less than patient with them? This should not be. 1 Cor. 13: 4 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity denvieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up"
