C'mon, don'tcha wanna be a loser for Jesus? (I am sure someone has said this to me before... we were all very proud of being "Jesus Freaks," thank you DC Talk).
Yeah, this has always bugged me, too. Technically, you aren't supposed to be embarrassed by your strengths, but are supposed to "give them up to God" for his glory and use, etc. Basically, one is called to abnegate oneself for the glory of God, and in so doing, receive your "true self" as a child of God. I went with it for a long time, but then, like everything else, it stopped making sense, and I hardly even recognized what was my core self anymore.
Religion is a hell of a drug.
