On many famous accounts, God displayed his love in big things: parting a sea in half, ingesting a human in a whale, raising Jesus from a tomb. But is God’s love in small things? Yes. God’s love is often in insignificantly-small people: a deaf man, a paralyzed man, a girl in adultery, a virgin carrying His son. Have we ever realized the insignificance of these people? Rather, do we realize their significance to God? He didn’t pick Hollywood celebrities to perform these mighty miracles. He didn’t pick the ones with the most “likes” and “follows.” Out of 22 miracles Jesus performed, 20 came from insignificant backgrounds. In the world, we often have to be “somebody.” But in Christ, we already…are. every. thing. You don’t need to beef up, clean up or puff up. You show up. And God loves you right from there. I was never popular as a kid. I don’t know what it’s like to be “most likely to succeed” or nominated to prom court. But I do know what it’s like to be recklessly, unconditionally, emphatically loved by God. You may feel small in your corner of the world, but to God? You’re an heir He’s proud to show you off. If you were the only small, insignificant one on Earth, you would have been worth dying on the cross for. You may feel small in your eyes, but you are the biggest focus of His. I hope this encourages someone today.
Thanks Heather,
God’s love is truly amazing! I’m learning that more and more each day.
An encouragement to all His daughters –
God has a GREAT plan for your life. Trust that even in this, He is right by your side, carrying you, sustaining you, wooing you unto Himself. He loves and appreciates you more than any guy you’ve ever loved. He sees your self-worth, your value, your pain, your tears, your heartaches, your heart’s cry. He knows when to wait, He knows when to step in and lift you up, He knows when and where you need healing, He knows when you feel alone, He knows when you feel afraid, He knows when you struggle with the pain of your past, He knows when you can’t sleep at night, He knows when you feel insecure, He knows when you feel like everyone has forsaken you.
But in the midst of it all, He knows your name, He knows you His princess, His, daughter, His Beloved, The Creator of the Universe, Your Heavenly Father calls you by name ___________ (fill in the blanks with your name).
He loves you more than your earthly Dad ever loved you, could ever loved you, and even more than you desired him to. He’s in your corner, He’s on the sidelines rooting for you to never give up, He’s with you in the valley, He’s with you on the mountaintop, He’s with you in the storms, He’s with you in the shadows, He’s with you in the light, He’s with you in the daytime, He’s with you in the night.
Just know that the storms don’t last always, just like Noah, your rainbow will come.
God sees right where you are, and He cares. He’s there with arms outstretched waiting to comfort you, allow Him. Don’t shut Him out. He loves you, and He understands you personally.
