As we develop our talents, we should develop the spirit of sharing or giving, not only with those who are closest to us, but with all of God’s children. Remember the words of King Benjamin: “. . . when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.” (Mosiah 2:17.)
The Lord wants us to enjoy our talents, but he also expects us to use them for the enjoyment and benefit of others and to build the kingdom of God. – Franklin D. Richards, “Conference Report,” October 1968, Third Day-Morning Meeting, p. 113
