If you aren’t good at anything much, it doesn’t mean that you’re good for nothing. (Kenneth J. Brown, author)
Most people probably don’t have a single outstanding talent or ability that makes them appear superior in any public way. Most of us are probably competent in what we do but not necessarily exceptional. Brown is likely reminding us that we have all been given abilities that will enable us to make a worthwhile contribution for the good of society.
[E]ach of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that (1 Corinthians 7:7). Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others (1 Peter 4:10).
