[1vanillaninja]

You know I find myself actually thinking of this video everyday. I ask myself "Have I done any good today?" More and more each day the answer is "Yes." Thanks for the video.

[AlexiaMarleyMars]

Why cant people just listen to him?? His words are true, What he says is for the best of us, I'm a Mormon, and I have learnrd alot through this great religion

[sandersandrea491]

Thanks for the information you provided...like your video..please do more..thanks

[josephsmithwashere]

Because an organization has 'good works' every once in a while, this does not make it true or correct. Do the work of God and not of men. Ask God what his will is brother and sisters, then do it accordingly in secret.

[note4note]

Such a nice and warm message of selflessness and good. Too bad it had to get all full of itself with all those religious sentiments shoehorned in. Why do I need Jesus' words to tell me to do good? Why can a man not be good of his own accord? Let us hope the day comes when we need not the promised reward of eternal bliss nor the sting of eternal hell to convince the average man to be good and kind and accepting of others.

[markcherry012909]

I'm so blessed being a member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I love serving the lord by doing serving others.

[phojesco]

There is a great need for meaningful service in today's moral morass of self-service and greed. This is an excellent and thoughtful message.

[Wleonora]

Simple message, and yet so special! Merci!!!

[BoothsLuver]

Thanks to you Mormon Messages for spreading the loving and guiding words of our Prophet. He is indeed a wondrous and Blessed man. I love that he can inspire faith in people of other faiths, that they enjoy hearing something that resonates in any language of the heart, mind and soul! Keep up the good work.

God Bless you!

[andrea19878]

I love these wonderful words of inspiration!!!

Me encantan estas maravillosas palabras de inspiracion!!!

[robertsanga80]

Thank you very much for sharing this very meaningful speech by President Thomas S. Monson on helping other.

[Wleonora]

Beautiful! 

[1MormonT]

Now we don't have a reason or excuse to be bored....let's get up and do some good today!

[ElderDakotaJIverson]

President Monsons is a true profit, i know it with all my heart, mind and soul

[bollenaedward]

k

love it

[GlennRoxWyo]

I love this speech

[thesimpletruth11]

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

John 13: 34-35

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

[royroidx3]

This scripture and my observation of this Church made me a believer:

Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

[marinda1984]

There is nothing more soothing to the soul than service. I am blessed with a job where I serve people with disabilities full-time. This service has provided solace for me these past months following the miscarriage of my first pregnancy. The Savior's admonition to serve others is perfect. It perfectly provides for those in need and those who serve with a measure of His peace and His love.

[VitaElle]

Can you add captions to this video?? I would like to know what is the message. I am deaf and can't understand what words he was saying.

[thumper5555]

I agree, captions would be nice. But I'd like to have captions for some of my international friends who can't understand English very well, but can read it just fine. I'm sure captions would bless lives.

[MyFreedomChannel]

@VitaElle, there is a cc button right underneath the video window on the right side. you click on the button and it opens up Caption options - click on Transcribe Audio. There you will see the closed captions for the deaf/hard-of-hearing.

By the way, you can do that with a lot of videos on here. Just look for the cc button on the lower right side of the video window.

[ilovesoremuscles]

@VitaElle If someone hasn't messaged you already, you can go to lds.org and type in "What Have I Done for Someone Today" by Thomas S Monson in the search box. This video is an excerpt from that talk (Oct 2009) You can watch, listen to, and READ every talk!

[LDSapoligists7l]

This is so awsome. GO Pres Mosman!

[rasberryjamalicia]

How thankful I am for the life long example of service President Thomas S. Monson has set. He walks the walk and talks the talk!! He is a true disciple of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I know he is a true Prophet of God!

[NancyToday]

I love President Monson. We're so blessed to have a prophet.

[junkchic]

Considering all the 'needs' in the world today to help each other - this message is so timely. Really gets my priorities more in line!

[owningyourfinances]

What a great motto! "Have I done any good in the world today?" I want to remember this every morning when I wake up.

[dancinXthruXtheXrain]

I like this. It reminds me to be good everyday in every little thing, not just huge vents. Thank you

[priceclairtyson]

Let us go out and serve people, be kinder to people, help people, make people feel happy, and love people, today, tomorrow, and everyday! Let us be the Lord's servants!

[zujowalls08]

i loved this message! it's almost been a year since i converted to the church. im so grateful for president monson and for the church! and of course, for Heavenly Father.

[owningyourfinances]

@zujowalls08 Congrats! 1 Year!! It just keeps getting better every year too!

[pilottim79]

Temple time is coming no? I hope you are preparing as the Temple is such a great blessing to us and our families. It really blesses all. Congrats and hope your testimony continues to grow.

[haustinshush]

A Timely Message from a Prophet of God!

[tulipsforyou77]

To VitaElle, I found this in the help section. Don't know how well it works.

Perform a search on YouTube. Then click "Sort Options". Under "Features", click "Closed Captions". This will display videos containing closed captions.

[carmendejavu]

love President Monson !!!!!!!!!!!! this message is so inspiring!

[VitaElle]

Please have captions available. I would love to know what he said... I am deaf and would appreciate the captions.

[brrtown]

Although I'm not religious, I love this message and agree whole heartedly.

[DemyanLavor]

I did! :)

[Molo9000]

I'm not trying to argue against this message. I'm glad people who think like that exist but...

... if god wants people to help people in need like the ones in Haiti then why did he destroy Haiti in the first place?

Kind of illogical.

[werby12]

god dosnt give anyone a trial they cant pull through

[fr33momma]

Consider the logic of this: The greatest chance for growth comes from trials of loss and pain. One learns to care about God's plan which includes comfort through our Savior. One learns to recognize where one can give of excess.

Now consider Haiti: These trials of loss and heartache give opportunity both to those encumbered by this grief and those of us who have excess. God in his Wisdom has presented an opportunity of growth to all who choose to take it.

Fruit grows on tress, not in stores.

[dougdcutler]

I appreciate your question, but it is important to understand that God did not destroy Haiti.

The more appropriate question to ask is why did God allow this to happen? The honest truth is that we don't know.

It is also important to know the true characteristics of God and His work and purpose. This life is temporary and we eventually move on to the next life - this is part of God's plan which includes death and opportunities to serve our brothers and sisters in need.

[sneekers4me]

I was raised Mormon, but converted when I was 18 years old. I am so grateful that I did. My life has been extremely blessed because of this church. I have been cursed at and yelled at in his name. I will gladly still carry this banner until my hands can carry it no more.

[vasniltere]

It is a lot easier to forget your own troubles when your lifting another's burden.

[ElsaBorzoi]

President Monson rocks, as usual!

[bobbydamaster]

we all can watch the news and hope and pray that the people with crisis will be over soon

[melc4k]

beautiful and sooooo true!

[TheKenTerry]

Coming from a former mormon, I really love his messages...I like to check up on this guy once in awhile and im glad i saw this video.

[papadonto8]

Why are you former? Do you still have a testimony? Do you still know of your Saviors love? I invite you to think of the blessings you are missing and return to the fold. We miss you and would miss you if you did not make it with us. President Monson loves you and so do we.

[CollegePreacher]

"Ye shall know them by their fruits." - Matthew 7:16

[Uenbg]

@CollegePreacher

Images transmitted to our mind through the eyes exert a powerful influence on our thoughts and actions. For example, if we were regularly to feed our mind on immoral entertainment, our resolve to obey the Bible's command to "flee from fornication" could be weakened. (1 Corinthians 6:18) In like manner, if we enjoy entertainment that features "men who are practicing what is hurtful," we could find it difficult to be "peaceable with all men." (Psalm 141:4; Romans 12:18)

[DefendingMormonism]

Inspiring, as always.

Matthew 25:40

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

[pyroticmaniac]

Scripture mastery :)

[orivaden01]

Is an excelent message. We thank thee, o God, for our Prophet, the President Monson.

Es un excelente mensaje. Te agracedemos Señor por nuestro profeta el Presidente Monson

[travoy01]

I love these messages! So much love and Thought! Thank you!

[motoxdady]

get closed captions please

[Chevrobert]

I wish all of the people who hate Mormons would just listen to President Monson. After just a few minutes I am sure most would realize that we are not what they make us out to be. We are servants of Heavenly Father and president Monson exsmplifies this like no other.

[FullH2OEpisodesUK]

me to!!! i live in London and there are not many mormons here!!! i wish people would stop being mean to mormons

(im mormon)

[TheLeprechaun96]

So do I. But then that would mean that they would have to actually do some research outside of all of the anti-LDS sites out there. It's a lot easier to just sit back and not do anything and hate for no reason.

[showmegoodnews]

I love the line we may find we are involved in the "thick of thin things." I am going to bookmark this page and watch this often. What a great message. So motivating!

[beafcake14]

its so true, I'm always happy when I serve others!!!

[juliantb7777]

I'm not Mormon, or religious in any way, but this is a great message that we should all think about.

[Wleonora]

@juliantb7777 Thanks Juliantb7777. X

[LightGnolaum]

@juliantb7777 I'm happy that your hear can be touched by this. That is something that you should be very very happy about. Your heart is open to truth :)

I love our Prophet Thomas S. Monson.

And I know that he is God's mouthpiece in these latter days.

Of this I testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[BoothsLuver]

@juliantb7777

I love you for saying this. I am Mormon and it's wonderful to hear others from different denominations praise our Prophet and his message about "Have I done any good in the world today?" It's like you said, WE ALL should think about this and spread this wonderful message.

Praise be to you, Julian for your kind words. Blessings upon you and your family. Thanks again for your kind words.

[elderwannabe1and2]

Mormon Messages Rockzz! thanks fo posting!

[TNIjeffreydavid3]

powerful reminder!

[miley4eva4499]

this is the true Church if Jesus Christ!!

[myway43]

Thank God for a Prophet.

[DaughterOfAKing14]

I read this quote today! How awesome! Spiritually in tuned! :D

[skyemail]

Third! So true . . . why don't we focus more on others? Its the only way to be happy.

[cureloms]

"...doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure, a blessing of duty and love..."

[P3WNAGE]

I love this church.

[crapthisbetterwork]

Me too.

[DoomExtreme1]

So do I, I seriously wouldn't be able to carry on living if I had to give it up :). I like this video :).
