insecurity vs. humility... reasons why we're not the right person for the job can often go through our head... why are we where we are? leading not because we're most qualified but because it is God who works through those who lead. even though He may have gifted someone to be an amazing leader, God's greatness is only perfected through those who realize they can't do it on their own and rely on Him. There is a fine line between insecurity and humility.. insecurity about gifts God's given us sometimes keeps us from using them and allowing Him to work through us... but Humility is what recognizes that whatever gifts we do have, we have because God thought to give them to us, and we can do nothing but allow Him to work.
If God has put us in a place of leadership, don't let insecurities cloud the awesome ability God has to work through us if we simply make ourselves available for His use.

rachel, this blessed me so much especially where i am right now applying for this new job with our church and feeling very unqualified. Today on my way home, Abba and I were talking about how even if I had all the "abilities" to do the job I still couldn't do it without Him. This just totally reiterated that to me as well. Thanks for being so transparent with your thoughts
