EVERYONE COUNTS

EVERYONE COUNTS

 In a world where most of us seek to stand out and garner accolades from the crowd, feelings of insecurity, fragility and low self-worth have become an emotional pandemic.  They absolutely abound and they always abase.  As a result, we are psychologically diminished, feeling ‘less’ than we actually are because we have been brainwashed into thinking (and thus living) so.

 Today, it is my intention to reclaim or renew your God-given significance.  Whether you seem to have arrived, or not; whether you are deemed to be accomplished, or not – you have unquestionable value.  You matter.  Indeed, every single one of God’s creations eternally counts.

 For further enlightenment, consider this dialogue between the participants/parts of a child’s kite:

 Who flies the kite?  “I,” said the boy, “it is my joy that flies the kite.”

Who flies the kite?  “I,” said the wind, “it is my whim that flies the kite.”

Who flies the kite?  “I,” said the string, “it is my connection that flies the kite.”

Who flies the kite?  “I,” said the tail, “it is my balance that flies the kite.”

Who flies the kite?  All are wrong because all are right. No one solely flies the kite.  ALL fly the kite!

 As a young child, I recall my father-pastor expounding on the importance of individual commitment and team participation.  He cited Isaiah 41:6-7 as the scripture reference:

 “Everyone helped his neighbor, and said to his brother, “Be of good courage!”  So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith; he who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil, saying, “It is ready for the soldering.” Then he fastened it with pegs, that it might not totter.”

 Without the realization of your necessary part in the process, the building would be incomplete.

 You see, it matters not whether you are the engine or the caboose, the captain or the crewman, the CEO or the janitor.  In God’s divine economy, EVERYONE COUNTS.  Never forget that principle, and you will have taken a mission-critical first step on the road to lasting peace and security in this life.

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
