“You think you’re God’s gift to the world!” was a phrase we’d use growing up. The intent was to put someone in their place if we thought they were being arrogant or prideful.
But hold on for a minute…
If you think about it, God made each one of us, selected a point in time and a location for us to be born, and gave us an incredibly unique set of skills, talents, tastes, and abilities.
And His intent was for us to use those abilities to make our world a better place. We all do that in different ways, but most of us are trying our best.
The question isn’t about how much of an impact are you making. Instead, are you making the kind of impact you were designed to make?
The world – your world – needs you to keep showing up and trying in your own way to make it a better place.
God knew other people needed you in your world. You’re His gift to them. But if you keep hiding in false humility they’ll never experience your impact.
So rise up and be all you were meant to be. Because you really are God’s gift to the world.
This is a wonderful blog, and reminder Pete. Thank you!
Pete, thank you for this simple reminder! Sometimes I get caught up in all I am not doing or being! GREAT reminder that my focus should be on being who I was created to be by God, not trying to live up to anyone elses [even my own] standards.
Glad it Helped you, Joe. Pass it on!
