"Behold, My Joy is Full"
This is the spirit of compassion: that we love others as ourselves, seek their happiness, and do unto them as we hope they would do unto us…Christ did not just speak about love; He showed it each day of His life...Christ knows how to minister to others perfectly. When the Savior stretches out His hands, those He touches are uplifted and become greater, stronger, and better people as a result. If we are His hands, should we not do the same?...He has given us the perfect example of the kind of men and women we should be.
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “You Are My Hands”
Our Father has blessings and eternal rewards available for each of His children...seriously studying how our Father cares for His children can help us. Everything we know about our Heavenly Father is connected with His parenthood and His loving care for our souls. He loves each of His children unconditionally…The Only Begotten Son of our Father, our Savior Jesus Christ, spent His earthly ministry showing us how to love, bless, and teach all of the family of God. He taught us that not one soul should be lost.

Luke 18 | Suffer the Little Children to Come unto Me | The Bible
[T]he sacrament of the Lord’s Supper [i]s the sacred, acknowledged focal point of our weekly worship experience. We are to remember in as personal a way as possible that Christ died from a heart broken by shouldering entirely alone the sins and sorrows of the whole human family…this hour ordained of the Lord is the most sacred hour of our week...It is in memory of Him who asked if the cup He was about to drink could pass, only to press on because He knew that for our sake it could not pass.

Our prayers follow patterns and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. He taught us how to pray. From His prayers we can learn many important lessons…He told His disciples that “ye must always pray unto the Father in my name.” The Savior further emphasized, “Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name.” Obediently, we apply that lesson when we pray to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ…The Lord has taught ways by which our prayers can be enhanced.

Sometimes others don’t see us doing good, sharing our light in our individual homes. It is basic human nature to desire and seek praise and attention…You will bring the light of the gospel into your homes—not to be seen of others, but to build others—men and women of strength and light… We must be the light to help our families overcome sin, anger, envy, and fighting...As you share your light, others will find greater light too. Is there anyone who needs your light as much as your families?
- Susan W. Tanner, “I Am the Light Which Ye Shall Hold Up”
These four words—“Receive the Holy Ghost”—are not a passive pronouncement;... each of us accepts a sacred and ongoing responsibility to desire, to seek, to work, and to so live that we indeed “receive the Holy Ghost” and its attendant spiritual gifts...Do we...remember to pray earnestly and consistently for that which we should most desire, even the Holy Ghost? Receiving the Holy Ghost starts with our sincere and constant desire for His companionship in our lives.
