Have you ever wondered what language we all spoke when we lived in the presence of God?I
do know that in our premortal life we learned firsthand, from the
Father of our spirits, a universal language—one that has the power to
overcome emotional, physical, and spiritual barriers.That language is the pure love of Jesus Christ.It is the most powerful language in the world.
This
love brings about real change of character. It can penetrate hatred and
dissolve envy. It can heal resentment and quench the fires of
bitterness. It can work miracles.
We received our “first lessons”
in this language of love as spirits in God’s presence, and here on
earth we have opportunities to practice it and become fluent. You can
know if you are learning this language of love by evaluating what
motivates your thoughts and actions.
When
your primary thoughts are focused on how things will benefit you, your
motivations may be selfish and shallow. That is not the language you
want to learn.
But
when your primary thoughts and behaviors are focused on serving God and
others—when you truly desire to bless and lift up those around you—then
the power of the pure love of Christ can work in your heart and life.
That is the language you want to learn.
As
you become fluent in this language and use it in your interactions with
others, they will recognize something in you that may awaken in them a
long-hidden feeling to search for the right way on the journey back to
their heavenly home. After all, the language of love is their true
native language too.
