Say I have a job gardening for someone. They come out and say "Wow, you're great at mowing that lawn! Thank you." Well, I may be, but that's only because I have the muscle-power to push it, the oxygen to keep moving, the eyesight to see where to mow, etc. So, what if we simply responded in truth all the time? Well, what is the truth? It would be like saying, "Hey, thanks for the compliment and all, but honestly, it's only because God gave me all the tools to do this work for you. He's the one you should be thanking." Now, that might be a very different approach than people are used to, and you know what? It would open up a legion of opportunities everywhere you go, whenever somebody asks "Hey, how are you doing?"
A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. ~1 Corinthians 12:7
