`WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?

Its a simple question but answering it feels like undergoing a surgery with fingers sitting in ice. Painful!

Its not always because we don’t know what we're good at but because we think acting like we arent so confident about what we're good at is the humble thing to do.

I’m starting to realize that acting like we're not good at anything is just that; acting. It is not humility.

Humility is not about dodging what God has entrusted to you, it's rather about keeping it in perspective, it's about remembering that its for His glory, it's about serving people.

But until we acknowledge what God has given us (what you are good at), how will we truly glorify Him or serve people with that gift?

If we ignore what God has given us, we’re not being humble, we’re simply being irresponsible.

The reason we sometimes act like we're not really good at something/anything is because it opens us up to accountability - "if I admit that I'm good at this and people know that I am, then I have to do something with it" - so we hide under the guise of humility, and everyone loses. You lose. The community that needs your gift loses, too.

You might not be the best in the world at that something but you’re still good at it. And its okay to admit that. Really, its okay. I know its painful but give it a try, starting now... (like I'm doing here).

What are you good at? Singing? Writing? Teaching? Childcare? Sports? Speaking? Dancing? Computers? Hospitality? Go do it, please! Free yourself. Open up to accountability. And please, try doing this without "humility".
