Love, , ,
is one of my biggest passions. It may sound little weird but it is.
Love is everything
The two greatest commandments of God are to love (Matthew 22:36-39),
And without love we are nothing (1 Corinthians 13),
With love we will never fail (Moroni 7:44-48),
We need more love in this world. Love is everything. Christ is the greatest love, also known as Charity the pure love of Christ, love made everything possible.
Jesus Christ loved each and one of us. He loved us so much that He lived His whole earthly life sinless and full of service, His whole life was basically dedicated to us. He is the best example that proves Charity is the most powerful above all. He endured through the unimaginable pains of the Atonement and never gave up because He loved us so much and knew that He would be able to bring us to His happiness if He did it. Like depicted in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), it does not matter if one person lived his whole life doing good and the other person just caught up doing good in the end, all that really matters is that we all end up achieving the goal of becoming like God and being able to live together in the eternal happiness. We were all a part of a big family of our Heavenly Father. If we truly understood that love, we would not want any one of our family member to be missing at the end. No one can replace that spot. And our Savior Jesus Christ, our eldest brother loved His family very much. He did absolutely everything to make it possible that each and every member of the family will be able to return, having grown to be like their Heavenly Parents, if they choose. The Savior did everything, and still does and always will do everything for us. He is always beside us waiting for us to finally turn to Him and to desire to love as He did. Because He knows that nothing provides more happiness, more fulfillment, more
strength than to have Charity for everyone. God is Love. Love is worth the heartbreaking sorrow that is experienced when those we love refuses Love. Savior came here to Love, and people refused Him when all He wanted was for them to love each other and experience that joy through Him. He had so much love for us and He literally died of a broken heart on the cross.
We are still commanded to love today. It is really hard to keep that love in today's world, in this perilous times (2Timothy 3), when "love of many shall wax cold" (Matthew 24:12) but if we endure and not be overcome by the many in this world, we will be saved and taken care of (JS-Matthew 1:30). Though not as Christ, we will go through heartbreaks in this world when all we did was to love and to have someone else's welfare in mind. But we are not alone, and we can get through. Because Christ has already went through them all. He can strengthen us and help us as we strive to live in this world as He did, loving people because you love them even when the love is not received, serving others, and above all doing God's will on earth.
There are many with their hearts full of love that wants their voices to be heard. They desire more people to have love, to come to our Savior for healing and strength to continue to love. If you have that heart full of love, you will experience heartbreaks, but you are not alone, you don't have to be. If you don't have that heart full of love, you can ask God to bless you with the gift of charity, to be able to love people, to have your empty heart be filled with love. There's always hope, because of our Lord Jesus Christ. He made everything possible for us if we have the desire.

Below is an interesting video depicting the love this woman has to share. She has a big heart but people are either weirded out by it or the abnormality of it drives people away. The big heart becomes a burden as she has no one to share it with and has to carry it alone, and she becomes discouraged and the heart begins to shrink. But all the heart needs to recover is one person's kindness and support and it gives her another chance to love with all she has. When we know Christ, our love can constantly be renewed. And someday we will find a partner that can keep the heart growing and will be able to carry it together with Christ.
And maybe by our example to keep carrying the big heart around in this world, and by testifying of love, having a big heart might not be an abnormal thing anymore.
So I challenge all who reads this to 'testify to love', because 'love is here', 'love is now'.
