It is human nature to want others to know about our special gifts and
abilities. The thing is, human nature is infected with pride. Calling
attention or merely mentioning our abilities does nothing for the
Kingdom of God or to draw others to Him. Just living for the moment
and opportunity to use our gifts, practicing them without fanfare, is
when the Lord will acknowledge us and others will know we have
gifts and abilities and that they are God given.
Read 2 Corinthians 10:18
"For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but
the one whom the Lord commends." (NIV)
"For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth." (KJV)
