How can I show love for those I teach?

Different ways we teach others?

Worth of Souls Object Lesson

• 100 Dollar Bill - How much is this worth?
• Crumple and stomp and ask how much it is worth again.
• Nothing we do detracts from the worth of our souls. Heavenly Father still wants us no matter what we have been through. The worth of souls is great in the eyes of God.

Love Yourself First

• Do you love yourself? Before we can love others, we must love ourselves. Let others serve you.
• Pray to get to know yourself and love yourself.
• We are our own worst critic. This is a gradual constant process.
