Each person can sen out love, firmness, kindness, tenderness, justice, mercy, patience and respect. In fact, each person will be judged by what they send out, and not by what others send to them.
"For that which ye do send out shall return unto you again, and be restored; (Alma 41:15)
"Therefore, my son, see that you are merciful unto your brethren; deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually; and if ye do all these things then shall ye receive your reward; yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto again; ye shall have a righteous judgement restored unto you again; and ye shall have good rewarded unto you again." (Alma 41:14)
Is it possible to be overcome with positive feelings for a child who just told you a lie? YES
HOW?
By seeing that child as a child of God, born and reared in the courts of glory by Heavenly Parents. See them being exalted along with your entire family. See them dressed in temple clothing and being welcomed by the Savior into His Presence to never to go out.
Thank Heavenly Father for giving you this opportunity to grow spiritually.
See this event as one that is for your spiritual growth. Accept the fact that the Lord knew this was going to happen, and it was allowed to occur for you and your child's growth and development.
Keep in mind that the 'power of Christ' is manifested in each adversity and enticement, and that my steadfastness in Christ can release this power to help you carry out this stewardship successfully.
By doing the above, you will send out that which is good. You are not in charge of what others send out to you, only what you send out. Hence, the plea for each of us is to pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Love your enemies. (3 Nephi 12:44)
My exaltation is not based upon other people liking me, but on how I feel about others. Especially those who do not perform well, and do not treat me kindly or respectfully.
