Instead, we can pick up the Savior's yoke of love and compassion." https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ftsoy/2022/11/18-dennis?lang=eng "Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand, and watch over them with tenderness. When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind" (History of the Church, 5:23–24).
