There’s a Place For You..

There’s something inferiority complex does to you that makes you feel like you’re a mistake. You’ll probably think God has plans but everyone, but you. It’ll take someone who has been there to write about it. I’ve actually had issues with my identity. I’ve often wondered why things are a certain way around people and so different around me.

Truth is everything in life has a purpose. The truth of the afore mentioned sentence changed my mind, my perspective and my attitude towards everything around me. I stopped asking to do what others are doing, where God hasn’t called me into, instead I’ll ask God to show me my own place, my own space. I don’t want to drag the space of someone else. I don’t want to mentally live in the life and space of someone who may probably be doing well in his or her field. I mean, I could do better in my own field. I just have to get to know my field first.

Everything has its place. Everyone has their specific area, purpose and place. The way you can’t see a standing fan and sit on it, is the same way you can’t walk in the purpose of someone else. YOU HAVE YOUR PLACE. It may seem like there’s no place for you, but the thought of that is fallacy. You’ve just not found your place. I mean, look around you, whether you believe it or not, you’re where you are for a reason, and if you’re willing, you could fulfil your purpose from that point. Don’t try to live using the perspective of someone else. Stand from your point, be contented and view!

You can be as good as that person who’s trying to show that he or she is perfect and has everything working out well for him or her. Don’t you still get it? Many of us are actors, yes, you may feel left out because you feel something has to be there before you present. Yet others present these things to you whether they are there or not, and you swallow everything. Then you walk about murmuring and bothered about everything going on around you.

You suddenly realize your family members are not as funny as Tobe’s family, forgetting that Tobe’s family can’t present articles as well as members of your family.
You suddenly realize your friends are not as active as Victor’s friends, forgetting that your friends listen to you and give you shoulders when you’re weak to the point of tears. They are always there for you.

You suddenly see fault both in your life and the lives of everyone around you, you suddenly go all, ‘why are things different around me? Is it just me or I’ve been making mistakes all my life?’
You suddenly wonder why you didn’t start off at this point at a certain time.
You remember your starting point and wonder why you didn’t start things around where your friend started his, you’ll be like, ‘He is happy at this point, yet I’m not.’ Hey, he’s genuinely happy, quite alright, but have you thought about those stages when you feel fulfilled, overwhelmed and happy when your friends don’t? Ha! You forget these things.

You suddenly want to show off the way they do.
Please, be at peace.

Whenever you see someone presenting something he / she really has, don’t feel bad, look around you and be grateful for what you have too. Even though you may not be so expressive in showing off friends and family like the other person. Look at that beautiful thing that makes your family stand out, your family has something no other family has, you’re just blinded by what others are presenting.

You’re not just here. You matter. In Christ, there’s something specific you’ve been called to do. No, you won’t walk in the shadows of others. Ephesians 2:10 explains that He created you for that specific purpose.

This is for you who has been living in doubt and ingratitude and want for the lives, gifts and talents of others, I’m here to tell you that you have a unique purpose.

You feel you’re big or little or you have big boobs, or whether you have a small stature, it’s all for a reason. For a purpose.
Don’t walk about thinking you’ll lose what you ought to have because of how you look and what you’ve been blessed with as per your shape and body build. It’s not true, everything that’s for you, will come for you despite your stature and look. Anything that’s not for you is not for you. Don’t ever think some things are for some specific persons, or they’ve got an edge over you. No, please walk out of that mindset. In Christ, there’s a place for you. As long as you’re walking in the purpose of God, and you know Him, what’s for you is for you.

Don’t go about analysing and judging and wondering why others should get why they’re getting. Walk in the purpose God has set out for you and trust Him.

My love, walk out of the whole mess, yes, it’s a mess. Yes, stop trying those shoes, if you keep imagining and trying those shoes for hours, it’ll still not fit. Why? They’re not your shoes.
I’m forever grateful to God for giving me this knowledge I’m sharing with you now. I realize now that no matter what people tell me or life tries to make me see, this girl matter. She matters, just like everyone else who’s doing well in their field, she’ll do well in hers. She’s happy, contented and grateful to God that she can still be used despite her past, despite her mistakes and flaws.
So can you, have it in your consciousness that you shouldn’t walk around with bent heads because you’re not light skinned —- whoever said black skinned people are not awesome too?
Don’t walk slowly or talk in breaking sentences because you feel you’re not as useful as the people around. Don’t try to sink into the crowd simply because you feel your little boobs don’t look as presentable as your neighbour’s? Hey! Do you even know how God sees you? Do you? Love, search the Scriptures.
You’re not in a competition with anybody, why? Because it’s just you doing your thing and even if there’s a look alike or resemblance of that thing you’re doing with something someone else is doing, don’t be decieved or coerced into stopping, it is still your thing. There’s no two.
The knowledge of this should give you courage and GODfidence. It should give you joy and inner feeling.
God loves you, more than you can imagine.
You’re useful. Not just because I’m saying you’re useful, but because you’re really useful.

May God lead us into knowing His specific plans for our life, and staying under His ordained Spiritual shelter.
