We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Elememts of Love



King Benjamin brought his people together in a great conference “that they might give thanks to the Lord their God, who had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, and who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies, and had appointed just men to be their king, who had established peace in the land of Zarahemia, and who had taught them to keep the commandments of God, that they might rejoice and be filled with love toward God and all men.” (Mosiah 2:4) 

I thought that today I would go through this verse and pick out elements of love. 

1.      Gratitude  (that they might give thanks)
2.      Safety (brought them out of Jerusalem and delivered them from their enemies.)
3.      Good people (just men)
4.      Peace (established peace)
5.      Truth (to keep the commandments)
6.      Happiness (that they might rejoice)

Can we apply this to relationships with our families and neighbors?
