It is time to serve rather than talk about serving.
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct, let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
James 3:13-15 (ESV)
When you are good at something, you need not talk about it to others because they will know you are good by your actions. Those who constantly "sell" themselves do so because their skill or talent is not recognizable.
A team player never tells the coach what they do well because the coach already knows. Instead, the coach places them in the best position to be successful based on the skills that has been demonstrated. God knows our skill set and will put us in the best position to see them utilized.
Those who talk much about loving God need to talk less and live as one who loves God. Those who speak of caring for the weak need to speak less and care for the weak more.
God creates each person with a plan and purpose, and the wise recognize and implement those gifts in the work of the King.
Constantly speaking of what you are good at diminishes your credibility and convinces no one of your ability.
It is time to serve rather than talk about serving.
