As disciples of Christ, we need to feel genuine charity for one another. As we do, new light will come into our own lives. This charity is essential in missionary work, but we must never allow ourselves to treat our neighbors only as potential converts.

We must not be so anxious to share the gospel that we become insensitive to the feelings of others.
M. Russell Ballard -
