Elder Ballard recently spoke to students up in Logan, and at the end of the talk gave these suggestions for measuring our personal love for the Lord Jesus Christ.
1. Are you actively seeking your eternal companion?
2. Are you saying your prayers every day?
3. Are you honest in all that you do and say?
4. Do you completely avoid pornography of any kind?
5. Are your thoughts, actions, and language clean?
6. Are you a full tithe payer?
7. Are you striving to live the Word of Wisdom?
8. Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
9. Are you studying the scriptures and doing all that you can to strengthen your knowledge of and faith in Christ?
10. Are you honoring your baptismal covenants?
11. Are you worthy of a temple recommend?
12. Is the Holy Ghost guiding your life?
13. Is there anything you need to repent of?
14. Are you returned missionaries maintaining the dignity of a faithful priesthood bearer?
15. Are you happy and secure in your faith and testimony, and are you enjoying being a member of the Church?
I really appreciated being reminded about what priorities I should have in my life. I know for a matter of FACT when I do these things I am happy.
