Our Strengths

The other day our staff was given an assessment to find our strengths…we were to answer questions and through this assessment we would see how we might handle a situation or resolve a challenge.
What I found interesting was I had taken a similar assessment several years ago and the results were extremely different. I was shocked at the outcome yet realized the results mirror who I am now.

My personal relationship with God and Jesus Christ is the deciding factor. When answering the questions I realized it is no longer about me, but it is making sure I am helping, encouraging and mentoring others to succeed. And I now know that our success is through our faith and trust in God with the talents and skills we possess.

A few of the results were: Harmony (treating others with respect), Connectedness (accept people as they are not what I want them to be) and Belief (not being deterred by others or peer pressure, but stay true to my values).

I received my strengths from God…wanting to please Him and to live a God-like life is my goal; however I fail miserably many times over but our Lord forgives us and with His mercy we are blessed with renewed peace.

Let’s remember to stay connected to God, stay strong in our prayer life and Bible studies and enjoy Christian fellowship. He guides each of us on a path especially designed for success and all we have to do is trust.

Jeremiah 17: 7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

Praise His name with thanksgiving and joy.
