Love is a very interesting thing... I have had some time today to think about what real love is... I really got to see love today for one of the first times in my life from something other than a child... I have a very dear friend who told me tonight that she can't be there for me... She can't because she loves me and she realizes that too much is going on in her own life... How hard would that be to tell somebody you love that you can't be there for them anymore?? Extremely hard I can promise, but out of pure love...
We manifest our love for Heavenly Father by keeping His commandments and serving His children... Our expressions of love for others may include being kind to them, listening to them, mourning with them, comforting them, serving them, praying for them, sharing the gospel with them, and being their friend... Our love for those around us increases when we remember that we are all children of God—that we are spirit brothers and sisters... The love that results from this realization has the power to transcend all boundaries of nation, creed, age, and color...
Love is a feeling of deep devotion, concern, and affection... The greatest example of God's love for His children is found in the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ... Love for God and fellow men is a characteristic of disciples of Jesus Christ...
True love is a process... True love requires personal action... Love must be continuing to be real... Love takes time... Love of God takes time... Love of family takes time... Love of country takes time... Love of neighbor takes time... Love of companion takes time... Love in courtship takes time... Love of self takes time...
