You are not insignificant. Never view your life as if Jesus did nothing for you. Make the most of yourself, for that is all that God made of you. The first and worst of all frauds is to betray yourself. If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, you will bring unhappiness to the rest of your life.

Too many people never begin to do what they are supposed to do because they are waiting to be able to sing like Sandi Patty, preach like Billy Graham or write like Chuck Swindoll before they start. God knew what He was doing when He put you together. Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent if the only birds that sang were those that sang the very best.

You were created for achievement. You have been given the seeds for greatness. Out of billions of applicants, only you are qualified, only you have the right combination of what it takes.

Your life makes a difference. Although we're all different, no mixture is insignificant. Jerry Van Dyke said it best when he said, "The best rose bush is not the one with the fewest thorns, but that which bears the finest roses."
