Resilience in Service
Sermonette by Hunter D. SwansonTimidity in serving God is a significant barrier that we must overcome with boldness and resilience. It is easy to focus on our own faults and weaknesses, becoming terrified to serve or perform duties, making excuses to show ourselves as unqualified. Yet, God has not given us a spirit of cowardice or timidity, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We must stir up the gifts God has placed within us, trusting that He will provide everything we need to succeed in His service. Feeling a lack of confidence is not a flaw but an opportunity to rely on God's strength, as He often chooses the seemingly unqualified to accomplish His will. The fear of being stuck in long-term service, whether in small tasks or challenging roles, can be an attribute of cowardice if we are not careful. Serving God is an honor, and we should embrace it fully, overcoming timidity to commit ourselves to using and developing the gifts He has given us, regardless of discomfort or challenges.
