Almost 100 days have passed since my last post and, for good reason, I have been absent in my writing. My life has swelled with an all consuming life decision and some interesting occurrence of events have caused me to rethink my personal goals.
Unfortunately, I can’t say anything specific, but my curiosity arises as I ponder what plans God has for me in the coming year. I’ve always known I was meant for greatness, but greatness is truly subjective. Generally speaking, figures of greatness possess the qualities of compassion, cleverness and character. Mother Theresa, Dietrich Bonhoeffer , Oprah. These are all people who are considered to be great.
What of the single mother of four, whose abusive husband has caused the broken family to flee? Is she great?
Or the man who humbly sells his possessions, in hopes to bring the Christmas Gospel to unknown tribes of South America? Is he great?
We are quick to admire the public figures of greatness, those who Society holds in esteem, yet we fail to identify those who are quietly great. The humble missionaries or the silent martyrs of faith.
In the midst of Christmas, decision making, and a new year, what great things will God put in my life? In your life? Will He esteem us in such a way that will allow others to deem us great? Or, will He plan a humble path for our futures? Truly, truly, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live…I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me…” (Gal. 2:20).
Christ is great, therefore, we are great.
May you seek His greatness this Christmas. After all, isn’t the birth of our Savior the greatest act of all?
