Sometimes, in our hectic commutes and busy schedules, we can forget to take a moment to slow down or stop altogether, count our blessings, and give thanks to our higher power, whatever that may be for each and every one of us. Sometimes we foolishly mistake those blessings for pliets of misfortune. Or we are too down in the dumps to see that the dilemma we are dealing with and going through is really a blessing in disguise. And we tend to see only our own biased angle of a situation and fail to recognize the need to give thanks altogether.
Whatever our reasons may be, I, for one, just want to take a much-needed moment to give thanks to my saving grace, my higher power, for loving me and for reminding me of my value, my worth, my great strength, my endurance, and how very capable I am to overcome any and every obstacle that is laid before me. How great is it that he believes in me so much even when I do not believe or have that much faith in myself?
So many times I question myself—more times than not—and my value to those around me and even to myself, as we all tend to do when we are faced with life's many struggles, and I question my purpose and place on this earth. What is my purpose? What is my worth? Just who am I?
Well, the answer is simple. I am nobody. And I do not mean nobody in the sense that I have no value. I mean nobody, as in, I am one of many drops in a bucket full of water. I am just his vessel, and he guides me in the direction I need to go. And he leads me down the path he has already laid for me.
Who am I? This is a question we all have asked ourselves at one point or another in our lives. Maybe not in those exact words, and maybe not even consciencely. But its a question I am sure we all have asked ourselves within our hearts during one of our many struggles. And the answer, my friends, is simple: I am one person in a sea of millions. I am not perfect. I am flawed, as we all are. I am nobody. Yet I am somebody. And I mean more to God, my Father, and have more value and purpose than I could ever understand.
When I am low, he is there, holding me close. And when I am alone, he is there with me, always. Even when it doesn't feel like it.
I am blessed.
Me.
A sinner.
A Nobody
a drop of water in this vast bucket.
It feels so good to not only believe but also to know that I am priceless. I have immense value. And, above all, I am loved.
Thank you, God, for such an amazing and beautiful gift. And thank you for everything you do for me and for everything you give me spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. And for staying with me in my times of uncertainty and doubt, and for wrapping your loving arms around me, my family, and my children. And for placing such great value on my life and purpose in this world.
My faith in you is, and always will be, unshakable and strong. Even when I, myself, am not.
