Focus on your strengths. 당신의 강점에 집중하세요.

1. 읽을말씀 : 디모데전서 4장 14절 (1 Timothy 4:14, NIV)

“네 속에 있는 은사 곧 장로의 회에서 안수 받을 때에 예언을 통하여 받은 것을 가볍게 여기지 말며”

“Do not neglect your gift, / [which was given you
(두 낱 니글렠ㅌ 여ㄹ 깊후ㅌ / 위취 워ㅈ 기붠 유)

/ through prophecy / [when the body / of elders
(쑤루 푸롸훠시 / 웬 둬 바디 / 어부 에(을)더ㄹㅈ)

/ laid their hands / on you]].”
((을)레읻 뒈어ㄹ 핸ㅈ / 언 유)

 

2. 제목 : “Pursue Your Strengths.” (당신의 강점들을 추구하세요)

God has equipped each one of us with specific gifts and talents. It’s up to you to not only identify those gifts, but to be disciplined to develop those gifts. You have to learn to stay in your strength zone. What are you naturally good at? What do you enjoy doing? Take the time to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and as the Scripture says, give yourself to your gifts. In other words, don’t spend all your time trying to improve your weaknesses. Don’t waste valuable days pursuing things that are outside of your main gifting. Focus on your strengths.

하나님은 우리 각자에게 특별한 은사와 재능을 주셨습니다. 그러한 은사를 식별하는 것뿐만 아니라 그러한 은사를 개발하기 위해 훈련을 받는 것은 당신에게 달려 있습니다. 당신은 당신의 강점 영역에 머무르는 법을 배워야합니다. 당신은 타고난 재능이 무엇입니까? 당신은 무엇을 하는 것을 좋아합니까? 시간을 내어 자신의 강점과 약점을 파악하고, 성경에서 말하는 대로 자신의 은사에 자신을 바치십시오. 즉, 약점을 개선하는 데 모든 시간을 낭비하지 마십시오. 당신의 주요 재능 밖의 일을 추구하면서 귀중한 시간을 낭비하지 마십시오. 당신의 강점에 집중하세요.

There is something that you’re good at naturally — something you can do that comes easy to you. Step out into your area of gifting. Are you good with people? Are you good with your hands? Do you have a great voice? Find ways to develop those gifts. Know that your gifts and talents are a part of your divine destiny. If you’ll be comfortable with who God made you to be and thank Him for your unique gifting, you’ll not only enjoy your life more, but you’ll be ready to receive the abundant blessing God has in store for you!

당신이 자연스럽게 잘하는 일이 있습니다. 당신이 할 수 있는 일이 당신에게 쉽게 다가옵니다. 당신의 선물 영역으로 나아가십시오. 당신은 사람들과 잘 지내나요? 손은 잘 쓰나요? 목소리가 좋은가요? 그러한 은사를 개발할 방법을 찾으십시오. 여러분의 은사와 재능이 여러분의 신성한 운명의 일부임을 아십시오. 하나님께서 당신을 어떤 존재로 만드셨는지에 대해 편안하게 생각하고 당신이 받은 독특한 은사에 대해 하나님께 감사한다면, 당신은 인생을 더 즐길 뿐만 아니라 하나님께서 당신을 위해 예비하신 풍성한 축복을 받을 준비가 되어 있을 것입니다!
