In the resurrection, the physical body of everyone will be restored to its proper and perfect frame. (See Alma 11:43; 40:23.) At the October 1990 general conference, Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve said: "The day of your resurrection will be a day of judgment that will determine the kind of life you shall have hereafter.
"That judgment will consider not only your actions, but also your innermost intent and heartfelt desires. Your everyday thoughts have not been lost. Scriptures speak of the "bright recollection." (Alma 11:43) and "perfect remembrance" (Alma 5:18) that your mind will provide in times of divine judgment."The Lord knows the desires of our hearts. At the time of judgment, surely the special yearnings of single sisters and childless couples, for example, will be given compassionate consideration by Him who said, `I, the Lord, will judge all . . . according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.' (D&C 137:9; see also Heb. 4:12; Alma 18:32; D&C 6:16; 33:1; 88:109.)
"He will know of your longings as a wife and mother who tried diligently to serve your family and society properly.
"As I listen to those who argue for causes contrary to the commandments of God and observe individuals who revel in the pleasures of the world with apparent disregard for eventual judgment, I think of this divine description of their folly:
" `They despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, . . . for their heart went after their idols.' (Ezek. 20:16.)
"Interviews, as for temple recommends, with your bishop and members of your stake presidency are precious experiences. And, in a way, they could be considered meaningful `dress rehearsals' for that grand colloquy when you will stand before the Great Judge."
