In this season of life, I realize I have more earthly days behind me than ahead of me. I am very grateful for each day...each opportunity...each loved one...each blessing...each breath. Life hasn't always been easy but it has always been a gift.
Yet I admit that I often feel my time here has not been as effective, instrumental or beneficial as it should have been. Will I leave this world better ...than when I arrived? Will at least one life be changed because of my efforts? Did my simple life have any significance in this world?
When I look back, I realize my life has been quite insignificant according to worldly standards. I am not famous...nor in any spotlight...or known for any major contributions on any level. I have lived rather quietly, privately and insignificantly.
It concerns me greatly that I have not done more for Him. Whatever abilities I have are not always strong enough to reflect Him as effectively as I wish they could be. That truly saddens me...yet leads me to even more dependence on Him.
For I find hope as I read Colossians 3: 17. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
May my very average life be lived and served for our Awesome God above all else. Reflecting Him, thanking Him and doing whatever I do for Him...makes life much more significant and focused, after all.♥~thl
