I saw a little video segment the other day in which people expressed their concerns about the entirety and finality of their lives, and when asked what about death he feared most, one man responded,
"The
thing I fear most is living a life of insignificance."
However, there
is nothing insignificant about someone who consistently brings a bit of joy
into others' lives, and offers words of encouragement when others need it most.
As believers
we need not go to our grave without the existence of significance in our lives.
I’m convinced that God never meant any of His children to die without impacting
those whom He sets in their pathway, and I’m equally convinced that Father, Son
and Holy Spirit dreamed a singular plan for each of us…before He made the
worlds.
I believe that
our Lord is so concerned that we fulfill our mission here that He is not only
willing, but quite capable of revealing His will to each of us, and I think there
are two primary variables by which He reveals Himself to us.
The interests
and abilities He instills within us, and the opportunities (or open doors) that
He makes available to us during the course of our lifetime.
God grant that
I use the talents and abilities wherewith He has blessed me, and walk through
the doors which swing open before me.
