Thoughtful Thursday - You're No Accident

Your presence on this earth at this very point in time is no accident. You are here for a reason. You were born for a purpose.

You don't have to do anything, or be anything but your unique self, which, in itself, is extraordinary. You were placed in your family, in your relationships, your school or work place, to interact with those very people who are there. You make a difference in their lives that only you can accomplish. You're the only one who can love them like you do and push them to be their best selves.

You can be sure that God is working within you. He will accomplish through you exactly what He planned from the creation of the world.

"...for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." Philippians 2:13.

Making Waves by Being Yourself

I love this meme that I hijacked from Facebook. The thing that strikes me most about it is that the moon doesn't seem like it does much. Sometimes that's how I feel, too. I'm just there, but am I making a difference? But the moon is important. It lightens the darkness and yes, it causes waves in the ocean. You can read the scientific explanation here http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moontides/.

I like the way the moon goes about its business quietly. It does its thing and doesn't make a big deal out of it. Yet, every day people look into the night sky and admire it, especially when it's full. That's when it's being most like itself. The same thing can be said about people. When they do what they're created to do, (and that's different for everyone) without making a big fuss about it, people are drawn to them. It's obvious when they do what's deep in their hearts and it's mesmerizing and admirable. Waves start lapping around them, so to speak, because their passion inspires others to do what they were created to do, too. So don't hesitate to make waves. Be yourself and light up the darkness.

One-of-a-Kind You

Yeah. That's totally cool. Remember your uniqueness. Celebrate how you're different from others. Don't judge others because they're different from you, unless it's to judge that they're totally awesome just the way they are. Because we're all masterpieces, made in the image of God Himself. He made us the way we are for a reason. Live fully like yourself.

Happy Thoughtful Thursday.
