The Lord invites us to earnestly seek the best gifts, even spiritual gifts. He gives spiritual gifts to bless us and to use in blessing others. …

… Exercising spiritual gifts requires spiritual exercise. …

The constant companionship of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest spiritual gifts Latter-day Saints enjoy. …

Let me offer four guiding principles that may be of assistance to you in inviting and recognizing the promptings of the Spirit.

The first is to stand in holy places. …

Second, stand with holy people. …

Third, testify of holy truths as often as you can. …

The final principle is to listen to the Holy Spirit. …

As you consider these principles to invite and recognize the Spirit, consider the following words of cautionary guidance.

Confirm your spiritual impressions. …

Be certain that the feelings you receive are consistent with your assignment. …

Spiritual matters cannot be forced. …

Use your own best judgment. …

I close with an invitation especially for all youth! Many of you start your day by standing in front of a mirror. Tomorrow, this week, this year, always, pause as you look at yourself in the mirror. Think to yourself, or say aloud if you like, “Wow, look at me! I am awesome! I am a child of God! He knows me! He loves me! I am gifted—gifted with the Holy Ghost as my constant companion!”
