What if our only motive were love? What if everything we did,
we did out of love?
We need to have a special kind of love to
rejoice more in the success of others than in
our own successes.
The Savior’s earthly ministry was a time of
teaching, a time of miracles. He established
His Church on the earth. He called the Twelve
to become leaders in the Church. He taught
everyone who would listen. He healed the sick
and raised the dead. And why did He do all
these things? He had only one motive—love.
His message to us is that we need to be good
and do good, but we need to do it for the right
reason. This is precisely why the two greatest
commandments are the greatest: “Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”
and “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”
(Matthew 22:37–39). The motive means
everything.
