Do you think of yourself as being indispensable or essential to life? God sees you that way. You would not be here if your existence did not matter. Think about it. The Creator of all that is, the sun and the stars, the great mountains and majestic seas. That same creator could have chosen anything or anyone to create and out popped you! You with your asymmetrical facial features and your quirky sense of humor, with your kindness and frustrations. In fact, every single cell in your body was designed by God. You are very vital to the existence of this world. You are a unique expression of God eternal. We so often measure our worth by this world. Am I pretty, thin, courageous, powerful, etc enough? The funny thing is that we often get the answer back that we are not enough and yet we continue to look to the world to see if we measure up. All the while our Creator is standing by our side, residing in our hearts screaming–you are enough to me! I created you and that tells you that you are vital to this world. God needs us to walk in that knowledge, that is why he is constantly sending us reminders. We are surrounded by gifts and beauty in this world not because we are separate from it, but because we are one with it. I remember that when I made my trip to Yosemite and heard God say, “Thank you” and when I asked for what I heard, “for coming to see my other beauties.” Too often I forget and I look to those around me–either my culture, my family, my job to affirm who I am. I only need one source to affirm who I am. I think of it often when I hear stories of people who were supposed to be aborted as a child in the womb or an unexpected surprise to their parents–clearly something greater than anyone saw to it that the world would know them. We are all that way. It may seem insignificant that we are here in this world but God does not see it that way. Think of how powerful a presence you would be if you walked around knowing to your core that you are vital to the grandest of all beings and your role here today is essential. I know I sit up a little straighter just thinking about it. What if we began to recognize this in those we encounter each day? What is one way that you know in your core that you are vital? My prayer for you today is that you may feel in your heart the love from which you were created and perhaps walk a little taller knowing that you matter. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen

Omg, I TOTALLY have a quirky sense of humor! 🙂 I love the reminder of this because when I feel unique, I feel not only good, but I feel useful and I appreciate wanting to be of service. Thanks, Colleen!
