A gift by the Spirit

Behold thou hast a gift, and blessed art thou because of thy gift. Remember it is sacred and comet from above. D&C 6:10

Each of us is given a gift by the Spirit of God (D&C 46:11-33). Part of our eternal quest is to discover and develop that sacred gift for the purpose of blessing others. President Gordon B. Hinckley has said, “You need never feel inferior. You need never feel that you were born without talents or without opportunities to give them expression. There is something of divinity in you. You have tremendous potential because of your inherited nature. Every one of you was endowed by your Father in Heaven with a tremendous capacity to do good in the world. Cultivate the art of being kind, of being thoughtful, of being helpful. Refine within you the quality of mercy which comes as a part of the divine attributes you have inherited” (Stand a Little Taller, 185). The most significant gifts we can develop are such gifts of the spirit as faith, humility, charity, wisdom, and testimony. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell.
