YOU ARE SIGNIFICANT

Emily in Our Town who signs her address as:
            Grovers Corners
            New Hampshire
            United States of American
            Western Hemisphere
            Planet Earth
            Solar System
            The Universe
            Mind of God
            In the mind of God… that's about as significant as you can get, whether you sit at a typewriter, behind the wheel of a bus, at the desk in a classroom, in a chair by your kitchen table… or lay in bed and pray.  Your life is hidden with Christ.  You enrich His inheritance.  You are His ambassador.  In Him your life has depth and meaning and purpose, no matter what you do.
            Peter Kreeft has said, "The point of this life…is to become the person God can love perfectly, to satisfy His thirst to love.  Being counts more than doing, the singer more than the song.  We had better stop looking for escape hatches, for this is our hatchery."
            It's my prayer that… you will discover the significance that has been yours all along as a child of the King.  You may not be able to know the meaning of every event, but you can know that every event is meaningful.
            And you are significant.
