There are so many things in this life so much bigger than me. Like The Star Spangled Banner and all that it represents. Like laying everything aside to fight for your life. Like struggling with depression and hopelessness. Like deep financial holes. Like military personnel who fight real wars so I don’t have to. Like mental illness or trying to find a functional existence amidst physical deformities.
I am none of those. I am one of the lucky ones. One with food and shelter. One with family and friends. One with health and wellness. One with opportunity and freedoms.
Although I am and am not all of those things, God doesn’t love me any more or less than the other. He doesn’t hear my prayers better or worse. He doesn’t serve me more or less than the next. We are all His children, equally.
I love knowing that I am the same as the next. That the thoughts and judgements of others really don’t matter. I, in all of my quirkiness, weakness and strength, am His. That is enough for me.
Forever grateful!
