Added Notes
If you ever have questions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, feel free to ask me or Refi. Please be polite ^_^ but don't worry about a question sounding silly, stupid, or offensive if it isn't meant to be. Hugs and love! God the Father and Jesus Christ's love be with you, and Their Holy Spirit.
Becoming Our Best Selves
President Thomas S. Monson, Liahona and Ensign, April 2006, 2–6
(There's a link right near the top of the page's main content.)
"In the search for our best selves, several questions will guide our thinking: Am I what I want to be? Am I closer to the Savior today than I was yesterday? Will I be closer yet tomorrow? Do I have the courage to change for the better?"

Giving Our Lives in Service
The years have come and the years have gone, but the need for a testimony of the gospel continues paramount. As we move toward the future, we must not neglect the lessons of the past. Our Heavenly Father gave His Son. The Son of God gave His life. We are asked by Them to give our lives, as it were, in Their divine service. Will you? Will I? Will we? There are lessons to be taught; there are kind deeds to be done; there are souls to be saved.
Let us remember the counsel of King Benjamin: "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." Reach out to rescue those who need your help. Lift such to the higher road and the better way. As we sing in Primary: "Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, / Help me find the way. / Teach me all that I must do / To live with him someday."
Real faith is not restricted to childhood but rather applies to all. We learn from the Proverbs:
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
When we do, we will come to realize that we have been on His holy errand, that His divine purposes have been fulfilled, and that we have shared in that fulfillment.
(emphasis added)
The greatest of all commandments--love thy God with all thy heart, mind, and might. The second commandment is like unto it--love thy neighbor as thyself.
Herein lie all the laws and the prophets. (Including the ten commandments; they all fit under this.)
Paraphrase from scriptures, etc.
