How can I contribute and minister?

Everyone has something to contribute. Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said: “The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony. All of Heavenly Father’s children are different in some degree, yet each has his own beautiful sound that adds depth and richness to the whole.”¹

You have been given unique gifts and talents from your Heavenly Father. It may be helpful to ask others what they see as your skills and talents. Brainstorm with someone you trust about ways you can best serve others. Let your local leaders know of your desires to serve and how you can use your talents and skills to bless others.

Our Heavenly Father wants you to serve others for Him. Even if you don’t have an official calling, you can find ways to minister to others each day. Pray to know how to serve others and for opportunities to do so. You can learn more about ministering at ministering.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
