You are so important.
Let me say it again: YOU. ARE. SO. IMPORTANT.
It's true. Believe it okay?
Imagine God making himself into a million-million-billion-trillion pieces and He takes each little part and puts one into you, and one into me, and one into everyone in existence from the start of time to the end. That's why we are all different because God made each person's personality as a little piece of Him that no one else has!
So you have to do something in your life. Really you do!!!
God has plans for you.
Sometimes that means going to a third world country and helping children starving for love.
Sometimes that means staying and helping children here.
Sometimes that means working at a store and "randomly" talking to a person who has lost hope.
Sometimes that means playing the music and singing the words that God speaks through to his people.
Sometimes that means teaching a person something that will change their mind because God wants their mind changed.
Sometimes that means doing something you love because that is what God loves.
Sometimes that means doing something you hate because God is still shaping you to be like Him.
Everyday I see something that makes me want to cry, but I can't be everywhere. Just because you see something with your human eyes that is wrong it does not mean you are the right person to fix that. There is still hope because God can be everywhere. If you call yourself a Christian, then you represent part of God. You are a part of the Church. You are an important person. God needs you. We need you.
You have to say something in the way only you would say it because that's the way God would say it. It's a part of God that has to be shared so someone else can hear the words or idea that God meant for them to hear!
You know what you need to do. If not, ask God because he has been trying to tell you.
Excellent beginning. How do I sign up to read future posts? (Don't laugh, I'm 56 and struggling to keep up!) haha
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for reading! I just added two ways to follow my blog. If you look on the right side of the page you can follow by email or Google.
DeleteLove this post Winter!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Khyrstyn! :)
DeleteThis is great! I hope you post more, especially on this topic. I had a really similar experience to what you described in the previous post about crying over hating yourself in a worship session, except mine happened just a few weeks ago. It's always nice to know that there's always someone else, somewhere in the world and likely in my life already, going through the same things that I am.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Josiah! I had a goal to post something at least once a month, except I started that goal in September and I have only posted three times since then...
DeleteThank you for sharing a bit of your story. I have been learning that the more I share about my life the more I find people like me, and it makes me feel less alone.
I totally agree! The enemy deceives us into thinking that nobody could like us if they really knew what we were like, but the truth is that everyone has problems and people value honesty and humility and transparency. I too was trying to post more on my blog, but that went nowhere...
