Love as a sense-memory of our Pre-Mortal Life.

Elder John H. Groberg of the Seventy wrote: 


"What is it about true love that touches every heart? Why does the simple phrase "I love you" evoke such eternal joy?  Men give various reasons, but the real reason is that every person who comes to earth is a spirit son or daughter of God. Since all love emanates from God, we are born with the capacity and the desire to love and be loved.  One of the strongest connections we have with our pre-mortal life is how much our Father and Jesus loved us and how much we loved Them.  Even though a veil was drawn over out memory, whenever we sense true love, it awakens a longing that cannot be denied."
