Feeling Insignificant

September 17, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

“Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than many sparrows.”  –  Luke 12:7


Sometimes, deep down inside my insides, there is this dreadful pang of insignificance.  Ever been there? I hate being insignificant, like a dried-up, shrunken grape, just hangin’ there with bunches of lush fruit shining round me.

I hang here, surrounded by a never-ending awesome universe full of grandeur and greatness.  The earth… so wonderfully outfitted with beauty, so inspiring and grand.  The seemingly perfect famous and rich, gloat and glitter with gold and pomp.

And then there’s me.  Here I am.  But let’s not go there!  Looking at others can be debilitating!

Feeling insignificant.  That’s when I pray.

There is a reason I don’t shrink into a dark waste hole of waaah (where they “call whine-one-one”, and ask for a “wahmbulance”).  What could become despair, is slowly drawn to hope, as I focus on:

who I really really am,

what God has done for me, and

the fantastic plans He has for me.

No matter who you are
No human need stay in the funk of insignificance.  No matter who you are, how ordinary, how far you’ve fallen, how vile to Jesus, how lost, how deep your sorrows — as a human each of us can be blessed beyond measure by Jesus the Messiah.  Jesus wants us.  Jesus gives eternal significance.

Sin and loneliness (to name just two…) can set me back a step or two, I must admit.  But then, my spirit surges up with hope in Christ – when I fix on Him.  The Son of God, Jesus:

  • Loved me “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4; Jeremiah 1:5).
  • Made me on day six (Genesis 1: verses 26-31).
  • Died on a cruel cross for my sins. (*We think He died on Friday, April 3, AD 33).
  • Saved me by His grace.
  • Has a purpose and a hope for ME now (Jeremiah 29:11).
  • Is returning – coming soon to take me to His Home Heaven.

This tiny piece of creation, me
I am of such value to God my Creator, that Jesus volunteered to die on a cross for me, in the place I should have been placed (John 3:13-18).  Have you thought that one through?!  I cannot be of more value — than THAT!

Humans are the most important, most valued by God – in all His creation!  He died to save each one of us from His Justice.  There is a place where the damned of earth will go.  But Jesus died to bring you to His Home called Heaven.

Even though God is beyond-HUGE, He went out of the way to communicate His great love for this tiny piece of creation, me.  It’s all in the Bible.

He called me to repent,
to turn to Him for salvation.  I made that conscious decision to accept Jesus as my God and Savior.

And now He is non-stop working on me!  Through His Holy Spirit He convicts me when I sin, convincing me to repent.

When we accept Christ, the whole universe becomes our family domain!  We become a child of Creator God.  In an instant, in that very moment when we confess to God and repent of our sinfulness, and acknowledge Jesus as Lord of our life, Creator God Himself cancels His decree of condemnation against us in His Court — and we are born again, made a brand new creature inside.

Jesus gives eternal significance

Our new life, spirit and soul

We begin eternal life in that moment when the Holy Spirit of God takes up residence inside the insides of our body.  The Holy Spirit, in us, is part of the “three in one” mysterious Triune God.  He seals God’s new covenant promising us eternal life in Christ.
– Source: The Holy Spirit in You?

God in me — gives me super strength to keep walking His way – instead of my way.

– Ephesians 3:20
20 …Him who is able
to [carry out His purpose and]
do superabundantly more than
all that we dare ask or think
[infinitely beyond
our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams],
according to His power
that is at work within us…

In the Bible I have discovered that “I am enough“.  I am not inadequate.  I am not insignificant.  In Christ I am enough – not in my flesh, but as I abide in Christ.  It’s all about Christ – in me.

In Christ I am enough.  I’ve got it all, nothing needed, nothing missing.  I am ready, steady and able because God Himself made me more than human, after all.

I have everything needed, in me, to live a godly life — because of the power of God in me… since that moment in time that God Himself made me a brand new creature inside.  Same outside, new inside, for now, in my inner soul, the Holy Spirit resides in me in power.  That is what happens to those who truly accept Jesus as their Savior.
– Source: I am enough

If you are without Christ – then Fear This.  Fear the wrath of a holy God.  But if you have accepted Jesus with sincerity and truth, then you are born again – and you know He will care about you for all eternity.


Source: I Look Oh My God

I look.  I see.  I feel.  I think.  I choose.  I choose You.  You are good.  You are so wonderful.

You died and rose again – for me.  How can I not follow You with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, with all my strength?  How can I not strive to love my neighbors as much as I love myself?

I will. Your Spirit is within me.

I will follow You. I will love.

You are of great value to God.  He cares about you.  Jesus encouraged us, saying not to worry about death at the hands of another:

4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will point out to you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into [b]hell; yes, I say to you, [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him!  – Luke 12:4-5 

At death – we put on immortality

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow

God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance

Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Keeping sin AND getting God’s Holiness also

Be careful as you approach God. You might be doing evil – and not know it (Ecclesiastes 5:1). Do you legitimize your favorite sin as approved by God? Legit sins. What a deal that would be! Live anyway you want, but… just try to be very loving. God is so loving He’s sure to accept us, right?

Christians worship a Jew

As a Christian, do you know the One you worship? Are you hating on Jews these days? Do you realize where Jesus came from?

The Jewish Land of Israel… since 2000 BC

If one is to truly understand the Israel – Arab land dispute of today (Nov/2023), prejudices and false information must be set aside. Accurate historical records must be examined.

Watch out! God protects Israel

IF you are on the side against Israel, you are fighting against God Almighty. And that is a losing war – every time. Watch out! Israel is protected by the One God.
