Love Beyond Measure
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.
John 3:16- For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
C. Max Caldwell “Love of Christ”
Speaking to the Lord, Moroni declared: “Thou hast said that thou
hast loved the world, even unto the laying down of thy life for the world. …
“This love which thou hast had for the children of men is
charity.” (Ether 12:33–34.)
Through his compliance with the severe requirements of the
Atonement, the Savior offered the ultimate expression of love. “Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John
15:13.) And by permitting his Son to make such a selfless and suffering
sacrifice, the Father provided us with an ultimate expression of his love as
his gift to the rest of his children.
John 15:9-12- As
the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in
you, and that your joy might be full.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
loved you.
President Thomas S. Monson “Be of Good Cheer”
I testify to you that our promised blessings are beyond measure.
Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our
knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior
will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly
and keep the commandments. There will be nothing in this world that can defeat
us.
Have I Done Any Good? Hymn 223
Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,
A blessing of duty and love.
