With softer, more open hearts, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can prepare for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming, taught Sister Kristin M. Yee, second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, at BYU Education Week.
“As we strive to be pure vessels, the Lord can more readily speak to our hearts and teach us of His ways,” Sister Yee said on Thursday, Aug. 21.
Covenant-keeping disciples of Jesus Christ can help bless and benefit the world for His purposes—just as the theme of this year’s conference states, “Inspiring lifelong learning to benefit the world.”
As Sister Yee travels on assignments around the world, she said she has learned how much the Lord loves and blesses His children. With that in mind, Sister Yee gave seven ways that Latter-day Saints can become pure vessels in the hands of the Lord.
1. ‘Realize that what you have to offer the Lord is good’
Sister Yee said each person has gifts, personalities, experiences and perspectives that are needed now, and the Lord will not waste any consecrated efforts.
“You were not sent here to be someone else. You were sent here to be you and to let the Lord refine your spirit and to grow your gifts and talents for His glorious purposes,” she said.
