L-O-V-E

Our ward goal this year is to become consecrated disciples of our Savior Jesus Christ. We can do this by becoming more like Him. President Eyring gives us a powerful and simple guideline for achieving this: Love. He says that "love is the motivating principle by which the Lord leads us along the way towards becoming like Him. Our way of life, hour by hour, must be filled with the love of God and love for others."

The resurrected Lord asked his disciple Peter three times, "Lovest thou me?" Peter would respond, "Yea Lord; thou knowest that I love thee." The Lord then responded three times, "Feed my sheep." When the Lord asks us, "Lovest thou me?" what will our response be? Our answer is to minister to His children so that they will look to Him to be lifted up by Him and invited to be like Him. "If any man love God, the same is known of Him." (1 Cor. 8:3)
