How do we know our lives matter?
That’s a question that seems to haunt me. On the days that I feel most depressed are the days I question my value to the world the most. Did I really make a difference? Does my life really matter?
In a world filled with so much doubt, is it any wonder that we question if we matter?
The answer, of course, is that our lives do matter, and that we can make a difference. God values each of us. But we also have to want to make a difference. We have to choose to embrace God. We have to embrace curiosity, and be willing to take action.
That sort of sounds like work. And it its.
But that’s okay, because part of what God calls us to is to take action. And sometimes action is difficult; we may not make the impact we want; we may not feel ourselves making radical changes for the kingdom. Perhaps we should be doing more. But as long as we’re moving towards God, we’re growing. And as long as there’s growth, there’s meaning.
