Sometimes we do the same thing. We let fear force us into hiding who we are and what we’ve been given. We bury our identities because we are afraid we don’t measure up. We are scared that if we let the real us show, we won’t be good enough. We will mess things up. We won’t qualify. So we refuse to use the gifts God has given us. We decline to become the people God made us to be. And to top it off, we congratulate ourselves on being responsible, humble, and wise. But deep inside, it’s simply fear.
