Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Embracing our spiritual gifts often stretches us beyond what feels comfortable and asks more of us than we would choose on our own. As we seek knowledge, talents, and blessings with pure intent, we start to see how those gifts grow and actually make a difference in the lives around us.
Scripture
“For there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.”—Doctrine and Covenants 46:11
Quote
“We should seek after spiritual gifts. They can lead us to God. They can shield us from the power of the adversary. They can compensate for our inadequacies and repair our imperfections.”—Dallin H. Oaks, “Spiritual Gifts”

Living the Principle: Embrace Your Spiritual Gifts
- Choose one ability you already have and use it to help someone in a specific, practical way this week, even if it feels like a stretch.
- Set aside a small, consistent block of time to practice and improve that ability so it becomes more useful, not just something you’re naturally good at.
- Look for one need around you each day and ask how your skills could meet it, then act on the first clear opportunity instead of overthinking it.
