We often underestimate our
ability to make a significant difference in our small corner of the world.
My friend who works as a
clerk in a bank tells me there are times that he belittles himself because he
feels he belongs to the lower rung of the corporate ladder that what he does
every day hardly matters at all.
This is a deception.
God’s
word reminds us that we are indeed significant. We are the only creature formed
in the image our Creator. We are much more than we think even if we count
ourselves as belonging to the class of the ordinary.
Our Lord said we are worth
more than the lesser creatures like the birds of the air.
We may find ourselves in a
place where our feeble contribution will seem so negligible as to make an
impact of earthshaking transformation in the lives of people, nations, and
communities. But if we live a life pleasing to before God, we see that our
daily acts of compassion, love, honesty, diligence, patience and kindness, will
significantly create ripples of change to make
a small corner of this world a better place.
Cheer up friend! Continue
to be faithful.
