Why This Matters:
Serving others gives us a crazy amount of joy. When we are serving others, we are building up them and ourselves. What a marvelous thing! The Lord has work to be done that we are perfect for; we are placed in people's lives for a reason. We come to find that reason by serving others; we need to be the Lord's hands and touch the lives of those around us.

9. "It is only when we love God and Christ with all of our hearts, souls, and minds that we are able to share this love with our neighbors through acts of kindness and service—the way that the Savior would love and serve all of us if He were among us today.

Our motivation and heartfelt desire are like unto that of the Savior."
