Significance

Our fight to find significance in what we do and what we are gifted in wars against the truth that we are significant because we ARE His and what He called us to do is significant because He called us to do it.

The fight then continues when we are caught up in doing, rather than being. And if we fail and falter, Jesus is able to wash us gently, His bride with the water of the word and of course Still love us.  We, humans, are often like babies that are learning to walk. We fall while trying, at least I do, but we get up and try again. And if we are criticized because others don't see it the way God has called us to, then that's ok.  


We are created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared before hand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8

Sew because you can, teach because you can, write because you can, model because you can, dance because you can, draw because you can, preach because you can, paint because you can, practice law because you can, practice medicine, politics and any other passion that is given to you, because our gifts surely are only because God has given them to us.  Though, don't do it for selfish gain because then its for self glorification.  For to Him alone belongs glory and honor and praise. 

And if you are struggling with what you believe and who you believe in, and how committed you can be to Jesus, that's ok, its human. But what is also human, is our need to be loved and wanted. The need to be forgiven, we, myself included needs a Savior, someone to save me from my mess ups, daily. To free me from condeming myself for my wrongs. And to give me hope.  Jesus, is able to love you and want you and heal you, when life throws up on you, if it hasn't, it will.

James 1: 2-8
 My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient in anything. 5 But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind 7. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.


And to this post that I wrote, glory to Him who wants you and I do it as if doing it unto Him who is passionate about every gift, expecting a return for all He has given.

 Matthew 25:13-30

 The return does not have to only be in finances but in bringing others into His presence, loving on those that are hurt and leading them to Jesus. That is far more greater than the rewards on this earth, for then it's more about others than yourself. More about God than about other's criticism and judgements. That's courage.


Live, because you are alive. and everything you do, do it for Him.
