“The fire of yesterday’s testimony can warm us for only so
long. It needs constant nourishment to keep burning brightly. In the New
Testament, the Savior taught a parable about a master who gave each of his
servants a sacred trust—a quantity of money called talents. The servants who
diligently used their talents increased them. The servant who buried his talent
eventually lost it. The lesson? God gives us gifts—of knowledge, of ability, of
opportunity—and He wants us to use and amplify them so they can bless us and
bless His other children. Our gifts magnify and multiply only when we put them
to use. Oh, how I wish I could embrace you and help you understand this great
truth: You are a blessed being of light, the spirit child of an infinite God!
And you bear within you a potential beyond your own capacity to imagine.” – Elder
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
