Developing Our Talents
Gospel Principles Chapter 34
We all have special gifts, talents, and abilities given to us by our Heavenly Father. We have a responsibility to develop the talents we have been given from our Heavenly Father. Often we are scared to try new things, accept new assignments or do things that are out of our comfort zone. Heber J. Grant overcame many of his weaknesses and turned them into talents. He had as a motto these words: “That which we persist in doing become easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing is changed, but that our power to do is increased.” Let us remember the parable of the talents (Matthew 25) and seek out the gifts we have
been given and then learn to develop them over time and gain confidence in our abilities with Heavenly Father by our side.
