Maybe you don't think you have as much time, talent, wisdom, wealth, or beauty as the next person. Maybe your response would be "I can't, because.........."! Congratulations, you are exactly for who God looks:
 
"Notice among yourselves, dear brothers,
that few of you who follow Christ have
big names or power or wealth.
 
Instead, God has deliberately chosen to use
ideas the world considers foolish
and of little worth in order to shame
those people considered by the world
as wise and great.
 
He has chosen a plan despised by the world,
counted as nothing at all,
and used it to bring down to nothing those
the world considers great,
so that no one anywhere can ever brag in the presence of God.
 
For it is from God alone that you have your life,
through Christ Jesus.
He showed us God's plan of salvation,
he was the one who made us acceptable to God;
he made us pure and holy and gave himself to purchase our salvation.
 
As it says in the Scriptures,
"If anyone is going to boast,
let him boast only of what the Lord has done."
 
-- I Corinthians 1: 26 - 31 (Living Bible)
