We need to let our family and our friends know this truth– God is love, “and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him. –2 Nephi 26:33

About This Quote

The true meaning of love is the willingness to give all, even of ourselves, to others. The supreme example of this is God, who sacrificed himself for others. He did not try to make others love him; he did not try to force them to accept him or his ways; he did not even try to change them. He simply invited them into his presence.

He loves us so much that he will not turn us away no matter how much we may hate him. God is love.
