"You can either hold yourself up to the unrealistic standards of others, or ignore them and concentrate on being happy with yourself as you are."
Jeph Jacques
I realised something the other week.
I had been praying for more humility and the next day found myself greatly fed up because I thought myself useless. It is at these times we text our friends. I did this and my friend text back, inevitably, "You are not useless, you are important."
Of course he is right, and I realised this almost immediately. But I also realised that it was true for everybody else as well.
I realised for the first time that I am important. I am part of a whole, of a movement, of a Church that is always aiming for Jesus, but not always setting the crosshairs right. I am part of this so that I can do my bit to point us in the right direction, and no one else will do what God has assigned me to do as well as me.
And I won't do what everyone else does as well as them.
Hence, it is important you realise YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU!
