Extending God's Love To Others

' I receive you to fellowship, in a determination that is fixed, immovable, and unchangeable, to be your friend and brother through the grace of God in the bonds of love, to walk in the commandment of God blameless in thanksgiving, forever and ever'-Doctrine and Covenants 88:133
When we help others feel God's love; when we are: supportive, encouraging, inspiring, nourishing, nurturing, comforting, compassionate, understanding, patient, long suffering, good humored, willing to cut him/her some slack and extend the benefit of the doubt, willing to talk and listen openly and honestly, trusting and accepting non judgmentally. When we counsel, guide, teach, mentor, pray and fast with  empower, validate, acknowledge, withhold judgement. "And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;  Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—"(Mosiah 18:8-9) Our ability to worship God, to reaffirm our covenants and receive the healing power of the Holy Ghost, to receive the instruction we need in order to make personal progress-all of these things are greatly affected by how secure and safe we feel in our church environment during the three hour block of time on Sundays. When we truly pay attention to others-with open hearts, hearts filled with His validating, acknowledging, and accepting love. We work miracles when we simply pass it on. One of the great wonders of God's love is that it expresses itself uniquely through each person's personality.
