Since I stand at about 5ft 6inches
tall, I have grown accustomed to all of the short people jokes. I even had to
deal with my own insecurities about being short or “Vertically Challenged”. I
went through the stage of acting like the Blowfish; sticking out my chest,
swelling up when I felt unsafe. But now that I’m all grown up (Still 5ft6); I’ve
noticed how taller people suffer from the same complex. This complex is called,
“The Short Man Complex”. How can a 6ft 6 inch man struggle with the Short Man
Complex? Have you ever known a person who is over qualified for a position or
possessed qualities that would compliment a certain task, but constantly plays
the second fiddle? They believe that by shrinking back from the moment, they
have exemplified Humility. Nothing could be further from the truth! You see,
true humility is allowing God to present an opportunity for His Gifts in you to
be a blessing to others; BUT if these opportunities are met with you declining
to use your gifts, God gets no glory in that. You and greatness have an appointment
but if you’re constantly rescheduling; you my friend, are suffering from “The
Short Man Complex”. This is your season to shine! The world has been waiting
for your contribution and has grown defiant towards your “Short Man Complex”.
Matthew
5:16
Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father in heaven
