Focus: Talent isn’t enough.
Proverbs 18:16 (NAS)
A man’s gift makes room for him.
My primary focus in ministry is in areas of performance - music and drama. In these areas, there are a lot of people who are extremely talented. Unfortunately, too many of these people don’t put in the work. I on the other hand have a modicum of talent but have to work very hard to get where I want to go (and do so gladly). It just frustrates me to see people with too much talent selected over people who are committed and loyal and are hard workers. I’d take someone like that over someone with a lot of talent in a heartbeat.
