It Matters

Your gift matters.

Your unique talents or way of seeing the world matters. And your dreams matter. That passion project matters. You matter. It matters that you show up. There is only one you.

When your true offering to the world becomes a priority, you stand in your glory place. Your true light becomes visible.

Shame can stand in the way of exposing your light. Like garbage piled high on a treasure. Fear of being exposed and vulnerable can stop you in your tracks.

I wonder…what is your unique gift or talent that you bring to the world?

That gift is important because it will be the answer to someone’s need. Your unique gift is the answer to someone else’s prayer. However simple or small, even the tiniest acts of kindness are vital to sustaining life. God placed that original song in your design. So make your own kind of music even if no one else sings along at first. Stand in your authentic voice. Do it anyway, no matter what ‘they’ say, or what you think they’ll say.

Yes, the fear and the shame will come up in the beginning. And the middle and end for that matter. There will be risk of ridicule and scorn to faced. All the Not-Enoughs will emerge and tell you why you shouldn’t. But it’s your dream, placed there by The Creator to be shared. It has great worth.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

So let’s tell the fear and shame that we are not afraid to be what Love made us. Let’s join hands and dare to stand in our true offering and light. And with courage, let us follow the inner call to stand in our glory.

Distilled to three simple words for today: Your gift matters.
