The First Great Commandment

This past weekend was my church's General Conference. It is held twice a year and there we can hear talks from our leaders via satellite in our homes on the BYU channel and online live. There was a talk given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland that has stuck with me since Sunday and I wanted to share with everyone his talk. I placed a link below for you to watch and enjoy just as I did. 

Holland spoke on the first commandment. Which is "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

This hit me hard. I love my Heavenly Father and I love Jesus Christ, but am I passionate enough towards them? Do I love Them more than what I own? When I return to Heaven, if Jesus asks me about my life and said "Did you love me?" ..... How will I answer? How will you answer?

I hope I can answer Him saying "Yes. I loved you and I always will."

(To watch this full talk click here. It is only 20 minutes long and worth your time even if you are not Mormon.)

Along with this topic, I challenge myself to be better with showing my love to Jesus Christ. He gave all he had to help me return to my Father in Heaven. Without Him, I would be lost and can not do it alone. It is now my job not only to believe in Him, but follow Him and most importantly, love Him as He loves me.
