Your uniqueness

"The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others." Enough of this self-deprecating "I can't do anything."

An enough of its arrogant opposite: "I have to do everything." No, you don't! You're not God's solution to society, but a solution in society. Imitate Paul, who said, "Our goal is to stay within the boundries of God's plan for us" (2 Cor. 10:13 NLT). Clarify your contribution.

Don't worry about skills you don't have. Don't covet strengths others have. Just extract your uniqueness. 'Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you' (2 Timother 1:6 NASB). And do so to make a big deal out of God...
