The Eternal Principle of Love

“The Eternal Principle of Love”
Elder Montoya teaches the importance of loving God and ministering to those around us.
The eternal principle of love is demonstrated in living the two great commandments — loving God and loving one’s neighbor.
As ministering brothers and sisters, Latter-day Saints should willingly help one another because they love each other as children of Heavenly Father, regardless of needs, nationality or language spoken.
We love God because of what He means to us — we depend on Him for our welfare and His protection, despite our mistakes. He “provides a Savior so we can be redeemed and return to the presence of God.”
The adversity of life can cause doubt about the fulfillment of the Lord’s promises, but we can “trust in our Father. He always keeps his promises and we can learn what He wants to teach us.”
It’s most important to be there for family members, under any condition or circumstance, just as Heavenly Father is for us.
“Our Heavenly Father’s love for each of His children is real; He is there for each one. I don’t know how He does it, but He does.”
