don'tbe

shy!

don't have

false

humility.

you might think it's "humble" to

not fully acknowledgethe things

you'regood at.

or you might think you're helpingothers be humble by not fully

acknowledging what they're goodat or how good

they are at it.

true humility resultsin praising god for

the strengths and abilitieshe's given you and others.

humility is also making away for the strengths ofothers to be cultivated

and used for good.

so focus on your strengths

take time to outline andenumerate them,

and see how you candevelop and use them

to glorify him.

dont be afraid ofallowing the lord to makeyou more valuable in thenatural and practical. it

makes sense that he would.

sure, you've got toacknowledge your weaknesses too,

and that's alsopart of humility,as well as part ofbeing realistic,

both of which are very important.

when you're honest and humble, you acknowledgeboth your strengths and weaknesses equally.

you aren't afraid orashamed to speak about and

exercise your strengths;

neither are you ashamed toacknowledge and get help

with your weaknesses.

it all works together.
