Day 36: Gifts

"11. For all have not every agift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.

12. To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby." (D&C 46: 11-12)

Our personalities and abilities are another example of Heavenly Father's love for us. We each have been blessed with our own characteristics that make us who we are, and each one of those characteristics is valued to help build the kingdom upon this earth.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have much to offer as a person. But then I'm reminded, either by those I love or the Spirit, or both, that I do matter. And that I am valued as a daughter of God. I am loved so much by my Heavenly Father and my older brother that I was given the opportunity to live on this earth for a period of time. And because Jesus Christ loved me personally enough, he suffered for me to give me the option to be able to return back home.

I am loved, and valued for my own personal self-worth. Everyone is. Sometimes it's really hard to remember that in a world where every one compares to every one else. We all have something to give, and we all have special spiritual traits about us that are unique to only us. That is proof enough that a higher, more powerful being loves us unconditionally.
