The Great Commandment
The Great Commandment talk was given by Joseph B. Wirthlin in October 2007. This is one part that he gave in his talk, "When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Father’s children, we do it unto Him.." He was 90 years old when he gave this talk. He was shaking as he was speaking to the member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (and other people who were listening to General Conference). At the very end of this talk Russell M. Nelson came and stood behind him until he finished his talk. What a perfect example of the pure love of Christ. Love, always remember to love others. Jesus loves you. Always show your love to others like Jesus Christ did while He was upon this Earth. He still shows his love to each and every one of us. Remember to love always as you minister to those around you. Help those that need it. Help those that might not need it. Serve like Jesus did. Remember this scripture, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37–40) If we remember the example of Jesus Christ in our daily lives, we will be blessed and we can bless others.

Jesus Christ
I posted the following on my Facebook account and thouoght I would share it on my blog too.

I was reading at Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon 2020 - February 10-6 (2 Nephi 6-10) the following, "...Nephites—“who believed in the warnings and the revelations of God”—and the Lamanites, who did not (2 Nephi 5:6). In these circumstances, Jacob, who was Nephi's younger brother and now ordained as a teacher for the Nephites, wanted the covenant people to know that God would never forget them, so they must never forget Him. This is a message we surely need in our own world, where covenants are belittled and revelation rejected. “Let us remember him, … for we are not cast off. … Great are the promises of the Lord,” he declared (2 Nephi 10:20–21)...
This is what I thought when I read the above. I typed the following down last night when it came into my mind. "God won’t forget us and we should not forget Him." I guess I was suppose to read this lesson at this time (since there is a time for things to happen). He won't forget us. He will listen to our prayers. Our Savior, Jesus Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. We should take His example and pray to our Heavenly Father every day of our lives. He will hear the prayers of his people. He will answer those prayers. He will answer all the prayers of those that fasted for yesterday (even small children) that were sent to heaven from around the world. Continue to pray (even if you didn't have a chance to fast yesterday). A single prayer is worth everything. Remember Him. He loves you.
