even the smallest

It is easy to feel unimportant in the world. We ride a bus or walk through a store without anyone saying a word to us. We walk through the park or sit through a church service and feel decidedly invisible. We grieve or worry, plan and evaluate. We feel alone as we deal with the challenges we face and wonder if anyone understands.

These are the times I love to remember this verse from Luke 12:6 When birds are sold, five small birds cost only two pennies. But God does not forget any of them. and this from Matthew 10:30 God even knows how many hairs are on your head.

So no matter how I feel, the truth is that God cares about the smallest things and when I'm feeling my smallest this is such a comfort.

God has work for me to do, created me to fulfill the purposes with which He paints my life. When my children were young I had important work in being their parent. When my parents were ill I had important work learning how to keep up with medical and legal matters. When my son landed in jail I had purpose in keeping in touch with him and his family and learning how to do all that. Looking back on all that and the other experiences I have had I see God has been leading me to this time and place where I have so many opportunities to share my faith, hope and experience with others who are feeling alone, invisible and anxious. 

God not only has a plan for my life, He has been weaving this life together with intent for all my life. He has a plan for you too. If you are breathing, you have work to do. Won't you have a conversation about that with God now? He is longing to help you, heal you, renew you, and set you firmly on the path God has planned all your life.
