I Feel My Savior’s Love
1. I feel my Savior’s love In all the world around me. His Spirit warms my soul Through ev’rything I see.
2. I feel my Savior’s love; Its gentleness enfolds me, And when I kneel to pray, My heart is filled with peace.
3. I feel my Savior’s love And know that he will bless me. I offer him my heart; My shepherd he will be.
4. I’ll share my Savior’s love By serving others freely. In serving I am blessed. In giving I receive. Chorus He knows I will follow him, Give all my life to him. I feel my Savior’s love, The love he freely gives me. Words: Ralph Rodgers Jr., 1936–1996; K. Newell Dayley, b. 1939; and Laurie Huffman, b. 1948 Music: K. Newell Dayley, b. 1939 © 1978, 1979 by K.

President Ezra Taft Benson, the thirteenth
President of the Church, said the following:
“The Lord warns us in the Doctrine and Covenants, ‘Beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old’ (D&C 38:39)” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1989, p. 3; or Ensign, May 1989, p. 4).

President Benson taught us that we can overcome
pride in our lives and be humble, meek, and
submissive by—
• Loving Heavenly Father and putting him first in our
lives.
• Not worrying about what others think of us but only
what Heavenly Father thinks of us.
• Not gossiping or criticizing.
• Not envying or living beyond our means.
• Not arguing or fighting in our families.
• Helping others feel good about themselves.
• Accepting counsel from our leaders.
• Forgiving those who have offended us.
• Being unselfish.
• Serving others.

of the many miracles which were wrought among
them.

hearts, for they were led by many priests
and afalse prophets to build up many
