The THREE Words Every Latter-day Saint Should Imprint In their Hearts and Daily Life

What are these three words? Love, Share, and Invite. 

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Elder David A. Bednar and Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles joined with other Church leaders and youth for a worldwide broadcast on Saturday, June 26, 2021, and moderated by Sister Bonnie H. Cordon, the Young Women general president.

Love, Share, and Invite.

How easy it is to start to love our friends and family? How easy is it to include them in our lives? Below are quotes from the various talks that were given to encourage members to start to love, share, and invite. The best way to start is with a quote from Elder Uchtdorf who encouraged members who might be skeptical of how we can bring these three words together in our lives.

“Hopefully these principles are familiar to all of us because they really are at the foundation of what it means to be a covenant follower of Jesus Christ,” Elder Uchtdorf said. “When I think of love, I remember the Lord’s two great commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind; and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Love ought to be the foundation and motivation for everything we do.”

Greg Droubay, a mission president in Richmond, Virginia, participated in the broadcast with his wife. “I think what I love most about ‘Love, Share, Invite’ is that it’s not a new Church program. These are simply inspired, timeless principles that can be applied in authentic ways as we simply live our lives."

“Love doesn’t have a timetable or an expiration date. When our sharing and inviting are motivated by love, we don’t get impatient. We keep trying, and we trust the Lord,” Elder Bednar stated.

Elder Uchtforf taught: “We simply include others in the good things we are already doing. This kind of invitation is not intimidating or creating fear. It is inspired by love and care for the other people."

President Russell M. Ballard concluded the meeting saying:  “We must act. We must love, share and invite. He will prompt us to share our experience, activities and what we are doing. And He will inspire us to invite others to come and see, to come and help, and to come and belong,”

Love, Share, and Invite.
