“Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.”

- Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 4:227., as quoted by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, in "The Great Commandment," General Conference, Oct 2007
