The Difference Is You | Sister Tracy Y. Browning | May 20, 2025

Sister Tracy Y. Browning Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Brigham Young University–Hawaii Devotional 

During her BYU–Hawaii devotional address, Sister Tracy Y. Browning, Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, taught that each of us is a creator with divine gifts meant to be discovered, developed, and centered on Jesus Christ. Drawing inspiration from Da Vinci’s "Last Supper," she emphasized that like the painting’s perspective lines, our lives should point to the Savior through daily devotion and discipleship. She reminded us that our talents are unique, intentional, and meant to bless others—not to compare with others, but to fulfill our own divine potential. Ultimately, she testified that “the difference is you,” and that through Christ, our lives can become masterpieces that reflect His love and purpose. “Our concern shouldn’t be of failing to match the greatness of others, but of falling short to live true to our own divine potential.” –Sister Tracy Y. Browning
