“Learn of Me”

Ed J. Pinegar, Richard J. Allen

The wisdom of our parents’ experience can bless us as we learn to trust in the Lord always, for He will support us in all our trials. Said the Redeemer: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matthew 11:29; compare Alma 38:9). He said also: “Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me” (D&C 19:23). “Learn of me” is a gentle, loving invitation of the Savior to invest ourselves in His doctrine and principles. “Learn of me” is a suitable expression of concern from parents to their children. Alma uses it; we can use it, too, in the spirit of compassion and devotion.
