His...

You may or may not always see the purpose in the steps you are taking as you are taking them in your life, but be assured that they do matter in the kingdom of God. Don't let anyone make you feel unimportant or irrelevant in your daily life, because, just like yours, their perspective is sometimes flawed. God says that he will work everything together for our good and His glory. So in everything you do, do it for Him. No matter what. Sometimes I wonder what the things I'm doing will lead to, how they could possibly bring glory to God or what impact they will have on my future. Most of the time I don't have an answer during that step, but looking back I remember seemingly irrelavent things that turned out for my good and His glory, and I am so thankful for those small steps of obedience that turned into very important, relevant memories. We can't isolate an event in our life, for everything is deeply interwoven and connected. We must take in every step and stage of life, because it will most certainly be gone one day. Each stepping stone is important and is a lesson. If I don't see it, I will pray that God opens my eyes and heart to show me how to make the most of it and do it with all my heart. We must not pass through the moment with groaning and complaining but with Thanksgiving to God even before we see their fruits. Sometimes the Truth is drowned our by our feelings over the situation, and it clowds our vision of the blessings even when they are right in front of us. So many of us feel doubtful that what we are doing matters or has an impact. The truth is that it does and it can. God is a God who is alive and dwelling in our hearts and lives daily. He is mindful of us and cares deeply for us. We belong to him and are HIS. You are important. You are thought about. You are deeply LOVED.

 

WHEN YOU DOUBT, REMEMBER TO WHOM YOU BELONG.

"You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue

you, Lord, know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before

and you lay your hand upon me."

Isaiah 43:1

But now, this is what the Lord says—

he who created you, Jacob,

he who formed you, Israel:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
