So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Don’t speak folly over what God has blessed you with. You are not useless or without worth, despite those measures you’re using, especially the flawed ‘What Other People Think’ index. His gifts and talents are perfect for us – He gave them to us. We may hold them in imperfect temples but when we use them repeatedly in the supposed weakness of faith, that is when we are strong. We don’t often have instant results, and if we do that’s because someone went before us – faithfully doing the Lord’s work, enthusiastically unnoticed, strong in the knowledge God would make something beautiful in His time. Keep going!
