In my church, we believe very strongly in the gifts of the spirit, revelation, "Light and Truth" and intelligence, etc.

"Covet earnestly the best gifts. "¦ Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts." (1 Cor. 12:31; 1 Cor. 14:1) This is Paul speaking to the Corinthians however many centuries ago, and as we believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, this must still be true.

We should discover what our talents and gifts may be, and then develop them. I believe that we are happiest when we are doing those things that have been given to us. The gifts that we have may change over time, as our needs change and we progress both spiritually and temporally. It's wonderful to have this opportunity to be so blessed by our Heavenly Father!
