On Divine Love

I must comment on the article “Divine Love,” written so eloquently by Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (Feb. 2003, 20). I truly believe that if we study these words and feel the power in what is being taught, we will find new meaning in and a refreshed outlook on our relationship with Jesus Christ. We may truly feel His divine love, the kind of love we would feel in His presence, on the condition that we obey His will. We must get to the temple and make those divine covenants that will allow us to receive this love. How thankful I am to be a part of this glorious gospel that opens my eyes to new and greater understanding.

Building for Eternity

The article “Two People Building for Eternity” (Jan. 2003, 10) touched my heart. I also have a disability that prevents me from walking well. My cane helps me to get around and do all that needs to get done.

I do not have an eternal mate, but the words of the Hiatt family have given me hope that someday it will come to pass if I have faith, keep my thoughts positive, and trust the Lord. Forty years ago, I was left alone to raise three small sons. They are grown now and always keep in touch with me. They have a deep love for me, for which I am very grateful.

The scriptures are my constant help each day. And thank you for your special efforts as you work on the Ensign every month.
