I had the opportunity to speak in Sacrament meeting on Sunday. My topic was: Love thy neighbor as Thyself. It was a huge blessing to study this topic all week & to feel the perfect love the Savior has for ME even though I mess up daily. He is so merciful. HE is the perfect example of love, forgiveness, and compassion. I want to be MORE like Him. The first and greatest commandment is to "love the Lord they God with all thy heart" and the second is like unto it. " Love thy neighbor as thyself." Through prayer & the help of the Savior... we can develop a deep love for those around us & love them just as our Heavenly Father does. What an absolute blessing. We need MORE love and less hate in this world.
Here are a few stories I shared with the congregation on Sunday. ( and I'm sorry to those of you who had to listen to me through my tears.. I was not planning on crying!)
Judge Not.
We can also develop a deep love for others by serving them:

Losing yourself in Service
"When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God."
We find true happiness when we lose ourselves in the service of others. We forget our worries and troubles and we are strengthened.
Most importantly, we are strengthening others in their time of need.
How can you serve someone today?
