Everyone knows the saying "your greatest strength can be your greatest weakness." Anecdotally I find this to be very true. I think you can also change the phrase to say "your greatest blessing can be your greatest curse." Most of us can hop right to the examples of lottery winners, rags to riches sports stars, and the like who have all received an immense blessing only to have their heaping helping rain down destruction upon them. But as I have been reflecting, I think I have had too much of an extremist attitude when thinking about such things. I don't think it's  merely the extremely blessed who need to worry about their blessings bringing destruction, it's those of us who are blessed at all. 

Every Christian is familiar with the Great Commission. It’s that command of Jesus that tells his followers that they are to go and make more followers of Christ (Mt. 28). Christians have long held two major misconceptions about this passage. The first misconception is that Christ’s command here is only for “professional” Christians (e.g. pastors, missionaries, evangelists, etc). That is not true. Christ’s command is for all Christians. The second misconception, problematic especially in the West, is that Jesus cared about people praying the “sinner’s prayer." But Jesus didn’t care about momentary “belief.” In fact, John 2 shows us that there were those who believed in Christ, but in whom Christ did not abide. “Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.[d] But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.” In the Great Commission itself, Jesus says that the disciples he is looking for will be taught to obey all of the words that Christ had spoken. A true Christian is a disciple of Christ, and a disciple has a deep-seeded faith that is rooted in the heart and bears fruit in actions. Jesus portrays this ever so clearly in the parables about seed that falls on bad ground, branches that don't bear fruit, etc.
