You're not the hero of yours.
Are you ok with that?
No, really. Think about it for as long as it takes.
Are you ok - and humbly surrendered - knowing that God is the point of everything and the theme of every story and He doesn't need your abilities though you and I certainly need His?
The pivotal moment in every story is whether you will turn to or from God and His finished work on the cross through His Son Jesus, either in belief and repentance or denial and rejection.
When we choose to turn to Him we gain not only a cause, but His moment-by-moment aid and comfort in living for it.
Choosing to turn from Him leads to an empty life with no purpose (because He is the purpose and we are in rebellion to that fact) and a continual cycle of trying to be "enough" on our own when that is entirely futile.
Christian, do whatever you can - to whatever scale - to honour Him and bring Him glory: today. Don't wait until doing something will get you noticed or make you a "hero", or that you are confidant enough in to do "on your own."
We must acknowledge that any work done through us is still accomplished by Him working in us, and not of our own merit. We must prayerfully take our motives to Christ and ask Him to renew a right spirit in us; He knows them already.
