Remember What Matters Most

By President M. Russell Ballard

Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Adapted from an April 2023 general conference address.

First, a relationship with our Heavenly Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. This relationship matters most now and in eternity.

Second, family relationships.

I include extended family, friends, and even ward families. These relationships are essential for emotional and physical health.

Third, following the promptings of the Spirit in our most important relationships and in our efforts to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Finally, being converted to the Lord, bearing testimony of Him, and serving Him.

Bear your testimony of Jesus Christ more often. Bear testimony of what you know and believe and what you feel. The Holy Ghost will confirm the truth to those who earnestly listen to your testimony.
