We must journey to a higher ground

"How do we know which direction we are headed? When the Savior walked
the earth He was asked to name the greatest commandment. Without
hesitation
He said: '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.
" 'On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets' (Matthew
22:37-40).
"In these verses, the Lord offers a clear way of
knowing if we are on the right path. Those who journey to higher ground
love the Lord with all their hearts. We see in their lives
manifestations
of that love. They seek their God in prayer and plead for His Holy
Spirit.
They humble themselves and open their hearts to the teachings of the
prophets. They magnify their callings and seek to serve rather than be
served. They stand as witnesses of God. They obey His commandments and
grow
strong in their testimony of the truth.
"They also love Heavenly
Father's children, and their lives manifest that love. They care for
their brothers and sisters. They nurture, serve, and sustain their
spouses
and children. In the spirit of love and kindness, they build up those
around them. They give freely of their substance to others. They mourn
with
those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort (see
Mosiah 18:9).
"This journey to higher ground is the pathway of
discipleship to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a journey that will
ultimately
lead us to exaltation with our families in the presence of the Father
and
the Son."
