The Savior’s words are simple, yet their meaning is profound and deeply significant. We are to love God and to love and care for our neighbors as ourselves. Imagine what good we can do in the world if we all join together, united as followers of Christ, anxiously and busily responding to the needs of others and serving those around us — our families, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow citizens.

It is impossible for us to fail when we do our best when we are on the Lord's errand.

If your dream requires patience, give it.

It is important to be still and listen and follow the Spirit.

Be involved; be informed. Try to be understanding and tolerant and to appreciate diversity.

The Lord is in control. He knows the end from the beginning. He has given us adequate instruction that, if followed, will see us safely through any crisis. His purposes will be fulfilled, and someday we will understand the eternal reasons for all of these events. Therefore, today we must be careful to not overreact, nor should we be caught up in extreme preparations, but what we must do is keep the commandments of God and never loose hope!

Be involved; be informed. Make meaningful contributions to society through service and involvement.
