There is something deep inside our souls, intentionally placed there. It’s a desire to be connected to something bigger than we are, a longing for the feeling of home, or something we can’t quite put our finger on. We crave this magical, wondrous, butterflies-in-your-stomach, exhilarating, yet absolutely safe feeling, but it’s like trying to grasp a cloud. We want to be a part of something beautiful and meaningful, but if we get caught up in our daily routine of to-do’s, we don’t see how we can. We also start looking at others and become jealous of how seemingly amazing their lives are, and think how measly our lives are in comparison. This jealousy causes us to feel worthless, so we stop, and then our joy and desire seem to dry up. But we must not allow this to happen! We can’t bury our desires and talents out of fear or because we become too busy. Our lives only will have meaning and worth when we use the gifts our Creator has given us alone.

Hi Miccah, I am new to Five Minute Friday and enjoyed your post. You are spot-on with how when we fail to see our worth in Him, we begin to look at others and feel jealous. Thank you for your honesty. I look forward to learning more about your writing. Blessings, Julie
Thank you so much, Julie! That’s something I struggle with so hard. By being able to write and share, I love that we all find encouragement. Welcome to FMF! I look forward to learning from you too. Miccah
Yay! Thank you for the gracious welcome. Look forward, like I said 🙂
Yes!! This is so so true, friend! Comparison paralyzes us and the enemy wins. keep on using those gifts and shining for His glory. Thanks for sharing, Miccah! I love seeing you here!!
Thank you so much, Mandy! Your writing inspired me so much. God is interested in our obedience using our gifts, not how many people affirm our gifts.
Love you!
Amen! Love you ❤️
