“Latter-day Saint Voices: ‘Look to Him for Every Gift’” Liahona, May 2001, 26–31
Latter-day Saint Voices:
“Look to Him for Every Gift”
We are blessed daily with divine gifts. Blessings come to us because our loving Heavenly Father wants to provide for His children. Many of these gifts—those primarily spiritual in nature—may come to us unrecognized or unappreciated, at least for a time.
Such is the case in the stories that follow. A man with disabilities blesses others through his devoted service. A mother is prompted to visit her young daughter at school for no apparent reason. A young mother finds the strength to raise her children alone. The Lord’s gentle hand guides a young man through a chance encounter that eventually leads him to the Church. Each story bears witness of our Father’s desire to bless us.
From the Lord’s living prophet come these words of testimony and promise: “[The Lord] is your strength. … Look to Him for every gift and grace and blessing. Get on your knees and pray and stand on your feet and do His will and put your trust and faith in Him, and God will bless you. I make that promise as His servant” (“Words of the Living Prophet,” Liahona, May 2001, 16).
