October Week 3

 First off, we're about halfway through! Not on our way to eternal perfection... we've still got some ways to go. But through our semester, about halfway.

Speaking of eternal perfection... yesterday, a man asked, "What is your individual purpose here? and furthermore, what are you doing to fulfill that purpose? Are your daily actions directing you to that end?"

What am I doing daily to fulfill my purpose?

We are each individuals with singular talents, strengths, opportunities, and challenges. We believe we were foreordained to come to earth at a particular time into particular circumstances and that our particular set of gifts, attitudes, and talents—if properly developed and employed—will enable us to fulfill a foreordained purpose. - Elder Robert C. Oaks, "Your Diving Heritage", BYU Speeches

As Lauren said a couple weeks ago, we are children of God. And while sometimes, our purpose may seem unclear, we are not forgotten. We are children of God.

Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time! - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Forget Me Not"

As such, we each have the divinity and potential to be glorious beings ourselves.  We, with our spiritual heritage, are capable of becoming like Him -- majestic, powerful, and glorious.

This week's focus is:

Honor our divine potential- develop talents

That means that we should not only recognize the talents that we have been given, but take advantage of them.  As we do such, we are fulfilling our purpose and enriching our lives, as well as becoming more capable to bless the lives of others.
