31 Days of Peace (Day 26): Peace Being "Unimportant"

As you can see today I was supposed to write about being unimportant.  (Sorta a hard topic for me but God laid it on my heart so I'll do my best)

Making peace with the fact that you aren't going to be number one in everything.

Making peace with the fact that there will always be someone better than you.

Making peace with the fact that God often uses those sitting in the back of the church.

He often uses those who don't speak well.

He often uses those who aren't as "educated".

Truth is all of us are important in God's sight.

No one can tell any other person that they are not important!

Everyone has been given an assignment, a purpose, or a reason to be here on Earth.  God graciously gives us opportunities to fulfill His will.  That makes us important.

I don't know about anyone else but I don't want to be important in everyone else's eyes.  I don't want to be an a-list blogger.  I don't want to be the best writer.  I don't want to be the best at anything (that sounds like so much pressure doesn't it?).

I will continue to be unimportant in everyone else's sight if that means that I am leaving my heart open to receive God and to follow His will for my life.

I will be content with what I've been assigned.  I will no longer look for the big shots or the one's who seem to be making all the moves.  I will continue to reach my hand back and help anyone who may need a hand.

I'll just sit here in my corner of the blogosphere and be unimportant because this scripture here will sustain me...

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.  2 Corinthians 12:9-10

I encourage you, make peace with being "unimportant".
