Significant Purpose
Make no mistake about it, my precious pookie bear; you are here for a reason.
Your journey holds a significant purpose; you just might not realize what it is yet.
I know you think there would be, could be, should be more.
You look around at others and wonder why you aren't crushing life like they are.
You compare your reality with the highlight braggings of social media and feel like you are woefully behind on the hustle of life.
You struggle with life's sufferings, and I understand how it might make you wonder if God might have overlooked you when it came time to hand out blessings and gifts.
Life has a funny way of not turning out how we thought it would.
Adulting, am I right?
But what if you thought of things a bit differently?
You are currently living a life someone else is dreaming of. Even with the suffering and drama, others look at your life with awe and admiration. They pray every day for a life that looks like yours.
Everyone is experiencing some form of funk or suffering; you don't know about it. Trust me; we all go through bumps, disappointments, tragedies, twists, and turns. Don't be fooled by the highlight reels you see.
God has designed you with a significant purpose. This life you are living is one of a kind, and it is a precious, valuable, priceless treasure.
In the quiet times of uncertainty, God is waiting for the seeds He planted within you to bloom and grow.
In times of yearning, God will remind you of the gift of gratitude so that you may look around at all the people and blessings that surround you and cry out with praise for this precious life you have.
In the dark times of tragedy, God has equipped you with the skills and fortitude to manage what comes your way so that you can get through and emerge a stronger and wiser version of your amazing self.
Let me remind you my significant schmoopy poo, God created you. You know, God, the one who created everything. He created you.
He loves you so much, you don't even KNOW!
God has planted greatness within you; those seeds of significance will bloom and flourish when you love and care for yourself and others and stay centered on the precious life you have as it is.
I know the hard times can be challenging. You squirm and struggle, wanting to escape or transform.
But fear not. God is with you, and He will never leave you.
God's kung fu grip is still holding you tight, and you will persevere and rise up with gratitude and praise for your funky, bright, and beautiful life.
You matter, you are making a difference, and you have significant purpose my friend.
Keep going! You got this!
