Hi everyone. I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. We appreciate you! Thank you for watching and liking our weekly videos. After watching today, if you find this video valuable, will you please help spread the word by sharing it? Thank you! 

Last week we discussed having dreams and ambitions and the need to DO something to bring the vision to reality. It’s easy to get caught up wanting to have all the answers before we begin. However, faith in God and in ourselves will lead us to take the next step. 

One reason we may have difficulty getting our dream off the ground is we haven’t embraced the skills and gifts we possess. To acknowledge them may feel as if we’re boasting, yet gratefulness always brings us to a place of humbleness, not pride. We can be thankful for and celebrate the abilities we have and not be prideful. 

What are your strengths? Don’t be bashful! Take an inventory. Make a list of the strengths you see in yourself. Strengths are the substance of who you are. They have been given to you to impact the world around you. By accepting who you are and the strengths you have, you are not being self-centered, but giving to and serving others. By celebrating how you have been created, you bring glory to the Giver of your strengths and abilities. 

1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you has been blessed with one of God’s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well.” 

How do you see your strengths giving your dream the energy it needs to take flight? How do you see your strengths helping you to serve others well? You can count on this: you have been equipped to give life to your ambition! You have the skills and gifts within you to make it happen! Live the way you want to be remembered. See you next week.
