Which Love is the Foundation?

As I looked at Elder Massimo De Feo's talk again, I noticed what I think was a slight error on his part. He quoted a talk from Elder Holland, and then made a comment about one of the subjects of Elder Holland's remarks. The thing is, I think Elder De Feo got one subject mixed up with another.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said: “The first great commandment of all eternity is to love God with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—that’s the first great commandment. But the first great truth of all eternity is that God loves us with all of His heart, might, mind, and strength. That love is the foundation stone of eternity, and it should be the foundation stone of our daily life.”

Being the foundation stone of our daily life, pure love is a requirement for every true disciple of Jesus Christ.

My question is: Which love did Elder Holland say was "the foundation stone of our daily life"? He spoke of two loves in this quote. The first is the love that we are commanded to have for God. The second is the love that God has for us. Since the phrase "that love" follows Elder Holland's description of God's love, I have to assume that that love was the "that love" to which Elder Holland was referring.

"That love [God's love] is the foundation stone of eternity, and it should be the foundation stone of our daily life."

Now, I'm not saying that pure love isn't "a requirement for every true disciple of Jesus Christ." It probably is. I would bet that Elder Massimo De Feo is right about that part. However, I am less certain that the required love is "the foundation stone of our daily life." At least, I'm not sure Elder Holland ever said it is.

Still, the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. After all, loving God is the first and great commandment. Why wouldn't it be the foundation of our daily life? While our lives, physical and spiritual, depend mostly on God's love, our eternal well-being depends largely on our love. Our love motivates our actions, which largely determine our outcomes. We cannot be saved if we do not love God.

So, maybe Elder De Feo was right and love of God should be the foundation stone of our daily lives. Or maybe Elder Holland was right that God's love for us should be the foundation stone of our daily lives. Either way, it's clear that Love shoud be at the center of our lives, whether that means God's love or ours.
