Are you caught in the lie of insignificance, trying to prove that what you thought doesn’t matter really does? Life has its ups and downs, but you are definitely one who matters all around.
Unfortunately, we get ourselves entangled with the faults and failures of our lives. We hunker down in the pits of despair because we can’t perform up to the standards of the way people think and care.

All that’s left is for us to wallow in our sorrows. Who says who we are; insignificant and borrowed?
The truth is that if you are one who ends up in this state of mind, you are most certainly living the lie of insignificance.
And that’s the last thing you should be thinking. Yet, it’s a reality, too.
“Every single one of us has been imprinted with a formula that says our self-worth comes from our performance and others’ opinions.” ~ Chip Ingram
Self-Worth = Performance + Others’ Opinions
Where do you look for significance?
Most of us come from the perspective of compulsion or withdrawal.
Compulsion – This is where we tend to be perfectionistic; driven to success, prone to workaholism, obsessed with appearance, and more.
Withdrawal – This is those who want to avoid failure, avoid risk, and gravitate toward others who are comforting and kind; a safe place.
But both of these tendencies hold us back. Now life becomes about everyone else, and you don’t matter; the lie of insignificance.
And if you want to continue to live this lie, you’re caught in your own masquerade ball! You act one way to present yourself to others, and then turn around and act another way to be yourself.
So who are you really? And do you matter?
YES, you do matter! But in order to know your value, you have to know who you are.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Know who you are!
And this comes from self-reflection. You need to look at yourself honestly, and see who you see in the mirror.
- Where do you act or pretend to be someone you’re not? What are those situations, and who do they include? Find the patterns here, and you begin to dismantle the lie of insignificance.
- How have other people influenced your decisions, your actions, your thoughts, and your motives? When you begin to untether what has held you back from being who you are, then you can become who God designed you to be.
- Ultimately, you need to see God in your reflection. When you become who He desires you to be, then you are a living legacy; one who knows whose they are.
You are worthy! You are valued. You are significant.
The life you lead is by choice, but can be something greater than where you are today. But it takes you to silence the lies that hold you hostage every day.
Discover who you are and live a life of freedom. No constraints; only invitations to be who God created you to become.
PRAYER:
Ephesians 1:4 (NLT) “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.”
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
