For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. 2 Cor 10:18

Some people sell themselves short, and some people oversell themselves.  I wonder if you tend to one or the other or a little of both.  I ran into two young guys looking for jobs this past week who were undersellers. They didn’t think they were qualified because of this or that, but couldn’t see how qualified they were in the intangibles, hard-work, loyalty, honesty, etc. They didn’t follow up with employers because they didn’t want to be a nuisance and assumed that no response meant they weren’t needed.  These two are selling themselves short.  They are reserved and humble, which is good, but too much so and they may not achieve their highest calling.
