"We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
1 John 4:19-21
The first idea here is interesting because God is our example of what love should be. We may or may not have other good examples in our lives, but he is the only perfect example. We learn what love is from God, and we learn how to love by being loved, and then we are asked to pass that on to other people. As we learn from Lehi's dream, the love of God "is the most desirable above all things" and "the most joyous to the soul" (1 Nephi 11:22-23).
Today, let's look to God to learn how to love. Let's do some research in the scriptures. I think we'll find that no matter how old we are, we all still have a lot to learn from God. :)
