Last night as I was going to bed, I just had this immense feeling of wanting to write something awesome. something significant. I wasn't sure why and I wasn't sure what it was going to be, but it had to be great. significant. That had me thinking about significance. What does it look like? Why do we strive for significance? Obviously there is not one answer for this. I want to make an impact, to live a life of significance. I do not want to live a life of mediocrity. Not knowing what is to come has me a little bit afraid, not afraid of what is to come but what is not to come. Afraid of failure. Afraid of mediocrity.
The great thing is that significance does not come in a certain shape or package. It is different for everyone. It does not have to be something big and renowned, it does not have to be small and unnoticed. Significance can start today. at school, at home, at the mall, at church, at the asian karaoke restaurant. Significance isn't a solo journey. We are not lost and wandering in our quest for significance, but we have a eternal, heavenly father by our side. By our side to guide us to a life of significance. By our side to talk to. By our side to comfort us. By our side to give us strength. The hard part is not realizing that God will always be there for us, it is seeing what he has in store and putting it into action because with open ears and willing hands, we will lead a life of significance.
May we always remember that the Lord is by our side and that He will lead us to a life of significance through our trust in Him.
Great thoughts. I think the better we can define and grasp significance, the more attainable it can be. Thanks for helping in that process.
ReplyDeleteI definitely resonate with this one. Significance is hard, and I often feel like my life is so insignificant and that I'm not having any impact, and this is the most frustrating thing for me...to think I'm another person coasting through life occasionally bumping into people. So how do you find significance in your life now danny?
ReplyDeleteNice post! I look forward to seeing how God uses you in significant ways in the lives of those around you.
