Natural Virtues can Lie to Us.

I think we all get to a point in our lives when we lose confidence in our natural virtues.

For years you get by on your personality, your ability to do this or that and one day you find it’s just not doing it anymore.

This is the part that ticks people off: I think that’s all part of Gods’ plan. Not because He’s some big puppeteer trying to pull strings and make us do as He wishes.

He wants us to learn to draw from Him rather than our own abilities and it’s really difficult.

If you have come to a point where your gifts no longer get you by perhaps it’s time to go a little deeper and stop pretending you can do it all.

God has been showing me all the things I’m not that good at and to tell you the truth it’s hard but I can see where when I get this down it can also be freeing.

Our culture tells us to be all that we can be and to improve the area’s of our weakness.

We learn to use our gifts rather than to give them away.

Perhaps these natural virtues aren’t all I’ve cracked them up to be?

Perhaps my real strength will be found, yes I said “Will Be Found” in my weakness.
