    I keep asking myself what "all in" would look like for me. There would be sacrifices. If I could commit to living this way for six months, I know the blessings would be so prevalent that I would never want to go back. It could change me and my family forever.

      I've been feeling this exact same thing! I've been in one of those stagnant ruts for a while and this is what I needed. There are things that I'm still holding onto like the rich young ruler. Heavenly Father sure is patient with me as I try to figure out how to give my whole self 😂

      I will never forget quitting coffee ☕️ lol I didn’t understand at first, but then I was blessed with the ability to stop smoking, and then cussing. Then I understood why, because God knows best. 3 year convert here! And after that I stopped everything the spirit led me to stop. Obedience is worth it. It’s the ultimate form of love and loyalty.

    I live in a different world thanks to the connection that I have with my Heavenly Father. The True Love that I feel being in a beautiful warm Realm of Love and Peace. The beautiful spirit dwells within me as I feel the presense of the Heavenly Father and Bask in the presense of Heaven 24 hours a day. I feel the Father and his Loven for me inside my body. All I can do is react to it's beautiful feeling with my soft Loven tears of overwhelming Joy and Happiness. I walk around all day with this on my countance around people I don't know and say to myself I wished they could feel this powerful Love of the Father inside my body and for them to be convinced of his true being. I walk around in Awwwww and try to understand why I can feel these beautiful things inside my body and only few people on the Face of the Earth can. I love this feeling and the presense of God inside of me beyond Sacredness and Miracles. I want to find other LDS Members that can feel these things inside their bodies too bc of my everlonging and everlasting faith of Love in the Heavenly Father and Savior that I cherish with each breath I take. They are everything and are beautiful beyond words. They are my True Love.

    Wow - As a Latter-day Saint Scouter - I found several of this morning's conference messages highly fortifying for the work I doing in Scouting as a Disciple of Christ. These talks we will link to in the scouting channels where we teach the youth of the world what means to "Do Your Duty to God" and "A Scout is Reverent".
    Pres Nelson's welcoming invite to seek "Pure Truth", "Pure Doctrine" and "Pure Revelation" is a great example of this theme.
    Elder Holland's talk had two super examples for me as an LDS Scouter- one is the new testament parable of the wealthy servant who is asked to give of his all to others in order to attain eternal life. Likewise was his other dramatic example from 4th Nephi about the happiest people on earth.
    And notice how Elder Christofferson later that morning repeated Holland's emphasis about the 4th Nephi Story.

    16 And there were no aenvyings, nor bstrifes, nor ctumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of dlasciviousness; and surely there could not be a ehappier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
    17 There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in aone, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.

    When an individual has and believes in a “false jesus” ( a created being ) they are undelivered and both without the TRUE JESUS ( eternally existing, uncreated) and THE ONE TRUE GOD (eternally existing, uncreated).
    Because the TRUE JESUS ( fully God and fully man, eternally existing and uncreated) IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. This is the only Jesus that delivers souls.

    Sounds eerily Orwellian "We love you big brother" 😬

      There was no real love in the Orwellian "We love you big brother." In that, my friend, what they called love was control.

      @@susancluff9371 it was real love in that he believed it so deeply, so tragically beyond question that the objective truth, if there was such a thing, was irrelevant. You are literally making my point for me.

    Hmmmmm interesting statement about saling belongings and giving it to the poor.
    Sir would you give up all your millions and bare your cross and follow christ with nothing.
    Could any of us do what was asked of this rich young man.
    Would we could we give up all our trivial excess and follow Christ.
    Makes me wonder.

      Hi Kim,
      I respectfully disagree with what you said about Elder Holland giving millions of dollars to others. Jesus Christ wasn't implying that all of us should give all that we have, financially so that we are penniless and homeless, than choose to follow him. I believe that Christ wanted to teach this rich young ruler, as well as all of us, the eternal value of personal spiritual sacrifice, which includes giving up our "favorite sins,"
      to better follow him. What are we holding on to, that can interfere with Christ's commandment to love God with all our heart, and to love our neighbors as ourselves?
      God bless you!
