For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12
I will never be an astronaut and fly to the moon.
I will never be a missionary in a foreign land.
I will never be known world-wide.
Isn't it funny how we compare who we are and what we do by those around us? We try to measure our Service in the Lord by 'big things and little things.' The world likes to categorize our worth by our accomplishments.
As a wife and mother, God created me to be a helpmeet to my husband and a godly example to my children. The world thinks that is a small and worthless role to fulfill, but God thinks it's a great thing!
Don't let the world define your worth.
We know our worth through Christ. He loved us so much that He died for us. John 3:16
I need to remember that when God prompts me to do something and I obey, then I'm doing exactly what God wants me to do. I am being who He created me to be.
I want to encourage you to be who God created you to be.
I will joy in the work God gives me, serve in the place He has set me, and be the me He created me to be!
I may never be an astronaut and fly to the moon,
but I can gaze up into the night sky and praise my Creator for the view from here.
I may never be a missionary in a foreign land,
but I can share Christ with my neighbor.
I will never be known world-wide,
But my Saviour knows my name.
And that is enough for me!
But that's just me!
"You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are!" Fred Rogers
