Do you ever ask yourself what your role is? What are you supposed to be doing? I’m not talking about your job or your career. I’m talking about what do people expect you to do for them. Our purpose is always changing and I do not know about you, but I’m ready for my purpose for others to change. I spend more time picking up after people and making their lives easier knowing that should the roles be reversed, I don’t think it would be happening for me. But, is that why I would do it?
Probably not. You do what you do because it is expected or needed. Maybe because I am not being specific about what I am needing or thinking that people care enough to try to take care of me. How do we know that people really care? We can only know how we show people we care. I guess we all have to just jump off the tower and be prepared for no one to really pick us up and see if jumping off is still worth it.
Sometimes all we can have is self worth. Self worth has to be enough. And when self worth doesn’t work, then we need to have one thing to count on. Luckily God can be the one thing and needs to be the one thing. Because I won’t take the chance of jumping and thinking anyone will be there to catch me. I’ll have to rely only on God.
While I know that God should be (IS) enough for our souls, I also believe that sometimes our earthly little selves need to feel the touch of another person, need to be reminded of our worth to those around us, need to feel as if we matter.
And for what it’s worth, you matter to me.
