Is your girl aware of her strengths AND her weaknesses? It is tough to watch her fumble rather than adapting through hardship or denying a need to receive feedback and make a change—your outside perspective is much clearer than her self-awareness.  

The famous leadership thinker, John C. Maxwell, was once asked what his greatest challenge was as a leader. His reply—“leading me!” Self-awareness is key to growth in your girl. 

A key step in this process—Biblical humility. First Peter 5:6 draws an interesting tension between being brought low and being lifted up by the Lord. Whether by God’s sovereign working, or by your specific feedback, it can be life-giving to remind her “Honey, this isn’t about you right now.” Watch her transform into Christ’s likeness and shine for His kingdom. 

1 Peter 5:6
