This is for the highly gifted person who’s finding it hard to break through.
Sometimes, when we’ve mastered something so well, we start to depend too much on our own ability. It’s a tendency we all have as humans to trust what we know, especially when it’s proven to work.
But here’s what I’ve come to discover: even though God wants us to develop and sharpen the gifts He’s placed in us, He also calls us to lay them at His feet. He wants to take what we’ve built and use it for His glory.
That place of surrender, that’s where the difference is made. It’s what separates the men from the boys. It’s the secret behind those who are truly successful in God. If you look closely, you’ll see a common trait: the humility of a child. Not because they lack knowledge or mastery, but because they understand this truth that my efforts, no matter how refined, can’t compare to what God can do through me.
They see their skill and insight as nothing more than five loaves and two fish. Useful, yes but limited. Until God breathes on it.
So if you’ve been doing everything you know, but it still feels like you’re not being seen, this might be what you’re missing.
Surrender your gift. Let go of control. And watch God make something extraordinary out of you.
