Am I Good at Anything?...
Have you ever thought that you're not good at anything? I know I do! Things I used to be good at, my siblings are all now better at the specific gift that I have. One time I was talking to my mom about it, and she told me that "someone is always going to be better than you, and someone is always going to be worse than you". If you always dwell on the fact that a person is better than you at something, you are really going to pull yourself down! Everyone has a gift. It may be singing, piano, good with kids, encouraging..But everyone has something they are good at.
All this doesn't mean I feel completely sure of myself, but I do know that I am special in something. You are too.

A certain someone who writes thoughtful, Christ-honoring posts on here happens to be able to sight read difficult pieces in 5th position better than me! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're right...and I was thinking yesterday about something similar (teaching a piano lesson to a student who struggles)... When you think you're no good at something, or someone is better than you, it hinders your ability to learn, because you're constantly self-conscious! Which I think has its root in pride. :) Do your best for God in what you DO have, and He will bless it!
Anyways, thanks for putting it so clearly! I'm going to borrow it if you don't mind! ;)
YOU are a gift. You are quick to forgive, a peace-maker (like your dad), and, good grief! THAT SMILE!!! I love you and I love this post!
ReplyDeleteCassia, you are amazing! :) Your smile and love you show is a gift you have that first came to mind as I read this!
ReplyDeleteSo true... finding joy in who we are is what we need. I have had days like this too... Most of my siblings are better then me at everything. But I do my best; my best for the Lord! :)
Thank you! This was a blessing! :)
