Discovering Capability: A Lesson from a Church Service

Dear friends, today I want to share a story with you. A story that taught me a valuable lesson about capability. It’s a tale that takes us back to a humble church service many years ago. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.

The Unexpected Choir Solo

One Sunday, our church choir was preparing for a grand performance. The soloist, a young woman with a voice as clear as a bell, fell ill. The choir was in a state of panic. Who could possibly replace her on such short notice?

Enter George, a quiet man who usually sat at the back of the choir. He was known more for his humility than his singing. But that day, he stepped forward and offered to sing the solo.

Embracing the Challenge

There were murmurs of doubt. George had never sung a solo before. Could he handle it? But George was undeterred. He believed in his capability. He knew he had a voice, and it was time to use it.

With just a few hours to prepare, George practiced relentlessly. He stumbled, he faltered, but he never gave up. He was determined to prove his capability, not just to others, but to himself.

The Moment of Truth

As the service began, the church was filled with anticipation. The moment arrived, and George stepped up to the pulpit. He took a deep breath, and began to sing.

His voice filled the church, clear and resonant. It was not perfect, but it was filled with emotion and sincerity. The congregation was moved. George had proven his capability, and in doing so, taught us all a valuable lesson.

The Lesson Learned

Capability is not just about skill or talent. It’s about belief in oneself, the courage to step up, and the determination to see it through. We all have capabilities within us, waiting to be discovered. Don’t let doubt hold you back. Embrace your capabilities, and let them shine.

Remember, my friends, we are all capable of more than we think. So, the next time you doubt your abilities, think of George and his unexpected solo. Let his story inspire you to discover your own capabilities.

Until next time,
