Is love the answer?

Celebrating my 57th birthday this week, I received several lovely cards and gifts from family and friends.

One particular gift came from the missionaries.

A folder of 60 pages, 109 letters, 30 photos and a few sketches too.

As I read through the album on Thursday evening, I must admit to being moved.

The letters and photos simply touched my heart.

I shed a few tears of joy.

Think of the last time you experienced joy.

Real joy – that deep enduring feeling that seems to warm your entire soul.

I felt of their love, one by one.

“God’s love is always there for you, whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.” – Thomas S. Monson.

Arriving in the Netherlands nearly a year ago now, in a few meetings Monic and I have frequently sung together (also with the help of missionaries too) “Love One another.” It is always a beautiful experience.

In the book of John, Jesus spoke to His Apostles about love “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you…. By this shall men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

“Love is the greatest of all the commandments—all others hang upon it. It is our focus as followers of the living Christ. It is the one trait that, if developed, will most improve our lives.” Joseph B. Wirthlin

There are a number of ways you can feel the Saviour’s love.

Its different for everyone – but the missionaries can help you along the way.

“Love is the greatest power and will have the most powerful influence. – Elaine S. Dalton

May we love Him and love one another.
