What are you really good at? Are you athletic or artistic or smart? Do you have special skills or particular sensitivities? Perhaps your upbringing was supportive and loving, giving you emotional advantages in life. Or maybe you had a great teacher that inspired and strengthened you. When you think about what you're good at, who do you give the credit to? To your parents? Your teachers? Your own innate talent? Your own hard work? No matter what your strengths, our faith reminds us that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God, and, as our collect says, without God, nothing is really strong at all. It's humbling to realize that no matter how hard we work at being good at something, it is God who has given us the ability to do it at all. Instead of having pride in our strengths, could we find ways to have a deeper sense of gratitude for them? What do you claim as your own strengths? How has God made them possible in your life?
