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___Sister Tracy Y. Browning was sustained as Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 2, 2022. At the time of her call, she was serving on the Relief Society General Advisory Council and has previously served in various callings, including as a counselor in ward and stake Relief Society presidencies, a Relief Society and Sunday School teacher, and in the Young Women organization. She studied at St. John’s University and has worked in financial services for 15 years; she currently serves as an account services director in the Church’s Publishing Services Department and has also volunteered with community and civic organizations. Born in New Rochelle, New York, Sister Browning was raised in Jamaica, the West Indies, as well as New Jersey and New York, and she and her husband, Brady Browning, are the parents of two children. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/byu-hawaii-devotionals-speeches--6571006/support.Visit byuh.edu to learn more.
