God Loves Insignificant People

Have you ever felt insignificant?  Were you once at the top of your game and now … now you feel no one remembers your name? 

Has age erased abilities that once came with ease?  Do you feel you’ve been put on the shelf?  Do you feel less than validated in this world?

Do you have fashion model tastes and a minimum wage budget?

I have some great news for you.  Keep reading.

The first thing I want you to know is this – God still knows your name.  He still has His eye on you and knows where you are and what you need every moment of every day.

You have significance. 

In Isaiah 43:1 we find this:  “Don’t fear.  I have redeemed you.  I call you by name.  You are mine.”

That is a profound word of hope. 

And in another place we find this:

“Be not afraid nor dismayed, for I your God will go with you everywhere you go.”

~Joshua 1:9

Paraphrase by PMB

These verses speak of the presence of God, and they speak of the validity of God in our lives no matter what we face, or what happens, and in spite of our own feelings of inadequacy or insignificance.

God is on our side when we have good days and bad.

He is with us when we are triumphant and when we are defeated.

He is with us at the peak of our abilities and in the senior years.

He comes and validates us and He assures us of our significance and of His presence in every circumstance.

I find great hope and encouragement in these thoughts.

Here is another thought that holds great encouragement.

“We are, each and every one of us, insignificant people whom God has called and graced to use in a significant way.” 

~Brennan Manning

So, my friend, God has a significant role for you to play. 

You are on God’s A-team.

Lace up your shoes.  He’s about to call on you for a critical play.
