“… discipleship begins with three simple words: Believe, love, and do.
Believe - Believing God leads to faith in Him and developing trust in His word. Faith causes our hearts to grow in our love for God and others. As that love grows, we are inspired to emulate the Savior as we continue our own great journey on the path of discipleship.
Love - The scriptures reveal that the more we love God and His children, the happier we become. … The love God speaks of is the kind that enters our hearts when we awake in the morning, stays with us throughout the day, and swells in our hearts as we give voice to our prayers of gratitude at evening’s end. … It is this endless compassion that allows us to more clearly see others for who they are. Through the lens of pure love, we see immortal beings of infinite potential and worth and beloved sons and daughters of Almighty God.
Do - In the Savior’s work, it is often by small and simple means that “great things [are] brought to pass.” We know that it requires repetitive practice to become good at anything. … [we need to] practice living the way He taught and blessing others the way He did.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf
