Love one Another

"We have covenanted to 'always remember [the Savior] and keep His commandments,' and He said, 'This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.' "We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth, with a mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us."

Linda K. Burton, “First Observe, Then Serve,” Ensign, Oct. 2012, 78.

"To help us better love one another, I would like to suggest four words to remember: "First observe, Then serve."

Linda K. Burton, “First Observe, Then Serve,” Ensign, Oct. 2012, 78.

“May we each watch over one another, assisting in times of need? Let us not be critical and judgmental, but let us be tolerant, ever emulating the Savior's example of loving kindness. In that vein, may we willingly serve one another?”

                     Thomas S. Monson, “God Be With You til We Meet Again,” Ensign, Oct. 2012.

“Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow. As we strive to become more like Him, we will have joy and happiness in our lives and peace each day of the year. It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others."

Thomas S. Monson, "Because He Came," December 2011.

“There are three parts to that remarkable description of the qualifications to associate in a state of happiness with God. One is to care for each other. Another is to teach each other and be taught. And the third is to sit down together with God.”

"Love is the only force that can erase the differences between people"

       Gordon B. Hinckley, “And the Greatest of These Is Love,” Ensign, Mar 1984

"Righteous feelings generated by a man seem to precede the increase of those feelings from the Spirit. Unless you are feeling love, you cannot convey true love to others. The Lord has told us to love one another as He loves us, so remember: to be loved, truly love"

     Gene R. Cook, “Charity Ensign: Perfect and Everlasting Love,” Ensign, May 2002, 82

“We need to be kinder with one another, more gentle and forgiving. We need to be slower to anger and more prompt to help. We need to extend the hand of friendship and resist the hand of retribution. In short, we need to love one another with the pure love of Christ, with genuine charity and compassion and, if necessary, shared suffering, for that is the way God loves us...”

       Howard Hunter, “A More Excellent Way,” Ensign, May 1992

“We should always think about how others feel. We should be kind to everyone, as Jesus was. He loves all of us. It doesn’t matter how we look—if our clothes are different, if our hair is different, if there is something different about the way we walk or the way we do things.”

                                              Cheryl C. Lant, “Friend to Friend: The Savior’s Love,” March 2006

“A true Latter-day Saint possesses a love for others that is consistent with a belief that everyone is a brother or a sister.”
