Relationships: How

Jesus Christ is our perfect example. As we follow His example and live His teachings, we will be happy. His example includes how to interact with others.

He showed us how to put other people's needs before our own. He showed us how to forgive. He taught us to be kind, to love, to listen and to be compassionate. He taught us to repent and to apologize, even when we must admit we have been wrong the whole time. He taught us to understand others, to be patient with them and with ourselves. He taught us to love and pray for our enemies, to do good to them. He taught us to not seek revenge and to avoid anger. He showed us that we can turn to God in prayer to receive help.

I know trying to be like Jesus makes me happy. "What would Jesus do?" or "How would Jesus treat this person?" really are awesome questions that can help us quickly choose to uplift and encourage others. We feel closer to Him as we do.
