Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is a great reminder to follow Christ’s example by showing love and kindness to those around us, just as He commanded. Whether through a heartfelt note, an act of service, or a simple prayer for someone in need, we can make this day meaningful by sharing Christlike love.
Scripture
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”—1 John 4:7
Quote
“May we begin now, this very day, to express love to all of God’s children, whether they be our family members, our friends, mere acquaintances, or total strangers. As we arise each morning, let us determine to respond with love and kindness to whatever might come our way.”—Thomas S. Monson

Living the Principle: Happy Valentine’s Day!
- Write a note of appreciation: Take a moment to express gratitude to someone who has shown you Christlike love, whether a family member, friend, or Church leader.
- Perform an anonymous act of service: Leave a small gift, pay for someone’s meal, or do a quiet act of kindness without expecting anything in return.
- Pray for more love in your heart: Ask Heavenly Father to help you see and love others as He does, especially those who may be difficult to love.
