When You Feel Like A Nobody

I am not anyone important to you maybe, but I am:

Wife

Mom

Nana

Friend

Daughter

Sister

and I am loved.

Sometimes…

God takes me and shows me who I really am.

And what I’m not.

I am not:

What I wear.

Where I live.

Who others perceive I am.

My body size.

My accomplishments or position.

My job (or lack thereof).

He reminds me that I am so much more than anyone else can see… except HIM:

Created.

Called.

Forgiven.

Redeemed.

Victorious.

Loved.

Even when I don’t feel like it.

Especially when I don’t feel like it,

He’s there.  Reminding me of His presence.  Of truth.

“You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭

And the world, in all of its beauty cannot compare

to

the

beauty

of

a

life

that

is

reflecting

Him.

So this is my prayer:

That I’ll spend more time in the Word and with Him than I do looking in the mirror.

That others will see Jesus in me.

That the smile I give will be a reflection of a Beautiful Savior.

When you feel like your energy is spent or the world is spinning out of control or you haven’t got a friend in the world that really cares,

SMILE

Because you are somebody, too.

So you can smile.

Give a gift to someone else. It might just make their day.

Reflect on God’s promises and His faithfulness.

Count your blessings.

Then

let

your

beautiful

light

shine.
