Finding Your Strength

My daughter gave me a book for Christmas entitled, “Strengths Finder.”

The thesis of the book is that most of us waste a lot of time trying to improve on things we’re not good at. So we work and work to move from being ineffective at something, to being mediocre.
Rather we should identify what we’re good at and strive to grow in our area of strength, so that we can be exceptional using our giftedness.

In the first century, Paul the apostle outlined some of the spiritual gifts, such as administration, leadership, generosity, teaching, hospitality, encouragement, discernment, knowledge.

So, my advice is: reflect on the gift God has given you. Then under the guidance of the Holy Spirit utilize those gifts and grow in the area where you’re gifted.
