Love is a feeling of deep devotion, concern, and affection.
Love for God and fellow men is a characteristic of disciples
of Jesus Christ (see Matthew 22:35–40; John 13:34–35;
2 Nephi 31:20). 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, and
color.
