I was talking to my leader this morning about my future plans. I told her how I know that my plans after this trip, which will be moving to Ashland, Ohio, is the most glorifying next step for the Lord. I know this because He has directed my steps and revealed to me that moving to Ashland is the next piece to my future. I am having trouble telling everyone this though for the mere fact that I feel as though they will believe I am taking the easy way out. Why would my teammates' opinions matter that much to me? Because I find my significance in other people.

Oh how glorious it would be to stand before the Lord and be fully satisfied by Him. I have a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe, but I continually find myself seeking the acceptance of my peers. Why? It's so ridiculous when you think rationally upon it...I seek the acceptance of finite beings when I have the unconditional love of God.

Slowly but surely my heavenly Father is working in me and bringing me into a more intimate relationship with Him day after day, and with that intimacy comes security and trust. I trust where the Lord is leading me is the most radical, sold-out action I can participate in because I am following after my Jesus...that is radical no matter who agrees with me. Following Jesus wherever He goes is the most glorifying thing I can do for my God. I
WILL find my signifance in obeying Jesus and His will. I
WILL continue to trust in His unfailing love and grace even as I go back to seeking the signifance of the people around me.

It brings up the question though: where do you find your significance? Is it in a job? a person? Essentially, is it in anything besides the Lord who sent His only Son to die for
you? Today allow Him to be your signifance...
