Here’s a word to all of you who are currently doing the will of God the best you know how, but still feel:
Stuck
Small
Out of place
Under the radar
Insignificant
Underappreciated
Unlikely
Awkward
and Uncertain…

God has not forgotten you, and what you’re doing matters. A lot.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t converse with someone who feels their contribution in life is puny and maybe even worthless. I’m learning that all kinds of folks feel this way:

• Stay at home moms who clean up toys just in time to see them magically reposition themselves in disarray again.

• Church planters who thought they’d have 3 times the growth and 3 times the money they have right now.

• Church nursery workers who feel left behind and dispensable because their gift will never make a ministry highlight reel.

• School teachers who think they’re finally getting through to an at-risk kid, only to watch him have to move again to live with yet another dysfunctional relative in the middle of the year.

• Bankers and Realtors and Doctors and Lawyers who are making good money and supporting growing families, but just can’t connect the dots to anything purposeful and eternal.

To all of the above: be encouraged today. God sees your labor, He watches over His Word to perform it, and He will complete the good work He began in you.
Nothing is accidental and nothing is wasted in the economy of God.

Just thought somebody might need that today.
I know I do sometimes.
