Of course, in scripture we see that the people God used didn’t try to copy someone else’s life for each one is an original and has a different script written by the Lord. They had to explore how God was leading them and then to obey. They didn’t achieve greatness by self-promotion but by obeying God. As we mature, we grow in self-lessness and humility and will live our best, whether or not noticed or celebrated. The bottom line is TO GOD BE THE GLORY! It’s not about us, but all about Him.
We were put on this earth for such a short time, and will we accomplish what God has put within us and live it out? Of course, we will have failures, just like Moses and Abraham, Peter and Paul, but we can learn from our errors and live lives of significance. We are all in need of grace and forgiveness and our worth is not from living a prefect life. Neither is our worth in how much we make or the size of our house, but by how we relate with the Lord. Are we following Him and becoming more like Him? Our goal is to be like Jesus and let Him live through us. As John says in I John 4:16, “We come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love He has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.” Let us not miss out on being a person of significance who lives in God’s love and lets it flow through him to others.
