You Are Significant

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You Are Significant
Lindsay Leonard

The world wants you to believe that you are insignificant, just one tiny speck in a gigantic universe full of planets, stars, and other galaxies. They want you to accept the norms of society and to fit in with the world and their standards. Society tells you that you can be unique and they will embrace you but only if it fits within their own definition of unique.

This is what’s wrong with the world today. Too many people are afraid to be themselves and embrace their own definitions of unique and beautiful. Too many people are afraid to think for themselves and go against society’s standards and norms.

Luke 12:7 states: “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” This is God showing us that He has made us unique and special in His own image. God did not create us to be a tiny and insignificant speck in this universe. Once you realize how truly special you are, you will not let the world tell you otherwise. You will understand that you have so much worth, more than the world could ever give you. You don't need the world's approval or to live up to its standards because God has set you apart.

Deuteronomy 14:2 says: “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” Throughout the Bible, God shows us how much he loves us and cares about us. This verse is just one example of many. As a believer of Christ, I know without a doubt that God loves me no matter what and will never leave me or forsake me. I know that as long as I follow God, the world will never take me away from him. Nothing could change God’s love or view of me even if I were to stray because God is an amazingly forgiving God.

If you ever feel like you’re worthless or that you couldn’t possibly be special then please, crack open a Bible or download the Bible app and learn about how loved and truly special you really are. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
