Love All; Love Each
Excerpts
Christlike love grows and multiplies as it is shared. When we show others the pure love of Christ, they come to recognize more fully how deeply the Lord cares for them—and, in turn, their own capacity to love is enlarged and strengthened. …
I bear witness of this truth: God and His Son, Jesus Christ, love all—and They love each. …
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we bear witness of Him whenever we share His love with all around us—and help it take root in each person we meet. …
First, loving all.
Are we selective, or exclusive, in determining who deserves our love, or do we extend Christlike love to all with whom we associate? …
Discipleship was never meant to be a comfortable circle of familiar friends focused on their own interests. Rather, our congregations are a beautiful mosaic—enriched by diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences—yet united in devotion to Christ. …
Second, loving each.
Do we interact superficially with others, or do we genuinely seek to know and care for each person we meet? …
… As we enter the fold of Christ through sacred covenants, we are known, accounted for, and cared for—one person at a time. …
As we care for each soul, we help connect them to the Savior, inviting them to be healed and transformed through His atoning blood. In return, our own lives are blessed—we become more like the Savior and are filled with great joy.
