We must remember that each of us is made in the
image of God, that there are no unimportant persons.
Everyone matters to God and to his fellowmen.

From the Book of Mormon, particularly 3 Nephi,
chapters 11 through 26 [3 Ne. 11–26], when the Savior
Jesus Christ showed himself to the people on the
American continent, many gifts are referred to as
being very real and most useful. Taken at random, let
me mention a few gifts that are not always evident or
noteworthy but that are very important. Among these
may be your gifts—gifts not so evident but
nevertheless real and valuable.

Let us review some of these less-conspicuous gifts: the
gift of asking; the gift of listening; the gift of hearing
and using a still, small voice; the gift of being able to
weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of
being agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition;
the gift of seeking that which is righteous; the gift of
not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for
guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of
caring for others; the gift of being able to ponder; the
gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a mighty
testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost.

We must remember that to every man is given a gift
by the Spirit of God. It is our right and responsibility to
accept our gifts and to share them. God’s gifts and
powers are available to all of us.
