Let&#8217;s face it, some people are naturally gifted at some tasks and others well not so much. I am that way with my hands. I am not mechanically inclined. I can lift. I can hold. I can screw something in. I can help. But I am no engineer, nor am I a handyman. In my family, we called it the MacGyver Gene. My dad had it. One of my brothers has it. My other brother has the I-want-be-MacGyer-Gene. I&#8217;m thinking it is a recessive gene and I just don&#8217;t have it. It bothers me some days. I feel down or less of a &#8216;man&#8217;, whatever that means, because of it. I want to get more mechanical and I am able to do more than I used to, but I am not MacGyver.<\/p>\n<p>I am blessed though with friends who are. I had one friend come over and replace an exhaust fan in my bathroom. I had looked at it in my mind and thought I could do it, but after I saw the whole process I don&#8217;t think I could have. Maybe now, I might be able too, but I don&#8217;t know. The old adage of see one, do one, teach one, doesn&#8217;t always play for me.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of a MacGyver Gene, or its cousins, can be seen in everything we do. We look at people&#8217;s weakness and try to turn them into strengths instead of looking at their strengths and making those even stronger. I will never be a world champion weightlifter. I will never be an awe-inspiring\u00a0baker. It doesn&#8217;t want to be. But should I spend all my time on it? No. I should look at what I&#8217;m good at and try to get better. This isn&#8217;t saying you can&#8217;t find a hobby or something you are passionate about, but rather we should focus on our strengths. In the workplace, we try to take techie folks and make them managers for a promotion. We try to take the best athletes and make them coaches. This isn&#8217;t always the best path. We should look at our God-given\u00a0talents and fully develop them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_405\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-405\" data-attachment-id=\"405\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/2018\/04\/21\/april-21-the-lack-of-a-macgyver-gene\/talent2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?fit=225%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"225,225\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"talent2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;From Meet the Need&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?fit=225%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?fit=225%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-405\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?resize=225%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?w=225&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/talent2.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From Meet the Need<\/p><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cSee, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills\u2014 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.&#8221; &#8211; Exodus 31: 2-5<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the LORD has commanded:&#8221; &#8211; Exodus\u00a035:10<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God&#8217;s grace in its various forms.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/111\/1pe.4.10\" class=\"verseLink\">1 Peter 4:10<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>God has specifically\u00a0chosen us to fulfill his plan.
