No matter how insignificant we may sometimes feel we should always
remember and keep in mind that we are important in this world. We are
important to our family and friends, we are important to our coworkers who
depend on us, we are important to this world who receives the benefits of
us being alive in this time in history. Most significantly, we are
important to God. He has us alive at this time for a specific reason and
purpose. We are on this earth to accomplish that which God has destined.
We should always see ourselves as important no matter how discouraged or
defeated we may sometimes feel. We may doubt our abilities from time to
time, but that doesn't change the fact that we are able. We are well able
to tackle the challenges, to overcome the tribulations and to come forth
better, wiser and stronger than we were before every problem that came our
way. We simply have to realize and recognize that we are important,
significant and meant for a great purpose in life.
I would encourage you to see yourself as God sees you. You may see
yourself as only one person amidst a sea of humanity, but God sees you
individually. The Lord sees you for who you are and for who you can be in
Him. He sees every talent, every gift and every ability that He has
instilled within your being. He has created you as special, as set apart,
as one who is able to bring a better change to humanity. He has given us
all that we need to accomplish all that He has for us, but we need to
believe in ourselves. We must have a confident spirit within our being
knowing that we can achieve greatness with God's help. We can do all the
things that have been reverberating within our spirit. We simply must
believe in ourselves. A quote that I wrote a long time ago says, “Believe
in yourself as God believes in you and all things will be possible.”
Don't doubt yourself, but rather believe that all things are possible.
Always remember that God loves you and wishes for you to reach your
greatest potential. Believe it and receive it for yourself in Jesus' Name.
I hope this message inspires and challenges your heart to know that God
sees you exactly where you are and He knows every potential that is within
your being. Trust that His plan for your life is within your ability to
bring it to pass.
SEA OF LOVE
It was a bitterly cold morning in the middle of a relatively mild Winter.
The chill cut through my light jacket as I took my dogs out for their
morning walk. The frosted grass crunched beneath my feet as I walked
along. The stars were shining in the still dark sky. I paused and watched
as my frozen breath floated up towards them. They seemed so far away. I
thought about the billions of stars stretched across the vast sea of black
out there. Our galaxy was just one of many in this incomprehensible
universe. Our sun was just one tiny star in the massive Milky Way. Our
planet was just one little lump of rock flying around it. It all made me
feel small and insignificant. I wondered what part I could play in such an
endless creation.
Suddenly, I felt a surprising warmth envelope me. It was like being
wrapped in a blanket of love. In my moment of doubt God was touching my
heart. I felt filled with peace and joy. I looked to the stars again and
saw them sparkle as tears filled my eyes. I recognized then that God’s
love was everywhere. That vast sea of black was filled with it. The entire
universe was made from it. I saw too that even though I am only a tiny
person on a tiny planet that I was important in His eyes. I was loved! I
was watched over! I was cared for! And I could make a difference too! I
smiled, petted my dogs, and walked back inside ready to start the day and
be a part of the sea of love that fills our universe.
You can be a part of that vast sea of love as well. Just open your heart
to the love that surrounds you. Just open your mind and let God guide you.
Just open your soul and let His Oneness fill you. Then you will know what
a powerful part you have in this endless creation that is life. You are
loved by God! You can give His love to the world! You can share your love
as well! You can help to create a better universe for us all!

Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great
and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
Isaiah 30:21 “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This
is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye
turn to the left.”
Proverbs 8:12-17 “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of
witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is
mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings
reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even
all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek
me early shall find me.”
Psalm 138:6-8 “Though the LORD be high, yet hath He respect unto the
lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off. Though I walk in the midst of
trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth Thine hand against
the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand shall save me. The LORD will
perfect that which concerneth me: Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever:
forsake not the works of Thine own hands.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
