It’s not that you’re not good enough!

When it seems like your talent is not appreciated, when it seems like you are not given a chance, when it seems like you are invisible and people can’t see you, when it seems like you are always the back up or the substitute and never given a chance to be at the front line, do not give up. Do not be despair. For it is not that you are not good enough. For it is not others are better than you. For it is not that you do not worth or not up to that position.

当你觉得你的恩赐不被人赞赏,当你觉得每次机会都轮不到你,当你觉得别人都看不到你,当你觉得好像备份或者替代,没有机会在前线, 不要放弃。不要绝望。不是你不够好也不是别人比你好。

You could start questioning why aren’t you given a chance or why is it so unfair that you work so hard but was never appreciated. You could start holding grudges on people and keep thinking how unfair you have been treated. Or you could give yourself a thousand reasons to make yourself better, but at times, most of the reasons happen to be negative on others to make ourselves feel better.

你可以问很多的问号,为什么你没有机会,为什么那么不公平,为什么自己努力了没有人赞赏,在很多的为什么再问为什么。你也可以对人有积怨,想着你怎样不公平的被人对待。或者你可以给自己一千个理由让你自己好过,但是通常那些理由都是说了别人怎样不好来安慰自己。

Or you could go one step further, not wanting to be stuck in that position but go forward and be better. Do not stop doing whatever you are doing just cause’ people around you do not appreciate you. Whatever position you are in, continue to work hard and be better. It’s God’s given talent/gift so do not give up on yourself, for God is preparing something for you, something better, something greater than you can think of. So, do not be disappointed and give up easily. For when the time is here, when you are given the opportunity, when the chance is here, you are more than prepared, to lead, to serve, to be on the front line, to take the lead and go forward. Just be prepared!

或者你可以走前一步,不要停留在同一个地方,但是走前进,做更加好。不要因为没人赞赏而把你所做的都停留不做。不管你在什么,继续努力做的更好。那是神所给的恩赐所以你不能放弃,因神在预备更好的给你,比你想象中更要好。所以你不能失望也不能放弃。当那个时刻到了,当你的机会到了,你已经比别人更加准备好了,来事奉,来带领,在前线带领向前走。所以,你要准备!
