God so loved us dear one, that He sent His Only Begotten Son (John 3:16) to die for you, and me, personally.
Think today of His great love for you. Agapao in the Greek means love, or ‘beloved’. It’s derivative comes from a deliberate sense of the will, His will, because of His fondness for you. It’s unfathomable to the Mormon that anyone could love them this much, let alone God, so make sure you send them a love letter from God. Share this scripture! Share how important it is for them to know that He loves us regardless of our failures, and He loved us before we did anything good.
And by the way, do you love your kids only because you think they’re going to do something for you in this deal of raising them? If so, you’re in for a rude awakening dear one.
