Let Your Greatness Shine

If I asked you to list 10 things that make you unique, 5 flaws and 5 perfections,  most of us would end up with half a list and most of the qualities on our list would focus on our flaws...

So often we focus on what is wrong with us, comparing ourselves to others.  Putting value on what someone else has, focusing on their strengths while only seeing our flaws...

Focusing on the things that make us great, seems to be more difficult. We are afraid of vanity, afraid to brag or boast. We worry about what others will think or say.  So we lose focus, finding it difficult to reveal the qualities and talents that make us great, make us stand out in a crowd, our uniqueness remains hidden... We stop looking at our own perfections and begin this never ending road to improve some aspect of ourselves... 

In the eyes of the Lord, we were created to be exactly who we are with all of our perfect imperfections. Take notice, toot your own horn and let your greatness shine through. God created no one else like you, and there is a reason... You are exactly who you are meant to be... Let your greatness shine...
