One

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the importance of the “one.” The power of one can inspire and motivate another “one” into something bigger than either of them can accomplish individually. To be brave. To be kind. To be strong. To be loving. To be thoughtful. To be adventurous. To be excellent.

That is a lot of influence.

However, we sometimes find ourselves thinking about the insignificance of being “one.” The “I’m just….” thinking can sneak its way into our mind and spread its lies far and wide before we realize what has happened. The enemy of our souls would like nothing more than to convince us that we don’t make a difference or can’t contribute anything of value. 

That is sabotage.

The “One” has created you for His purposes and designed you for things that only you can accomplish. We can’t let the enemy convince us of insignificance. The “One” has created you – the “one” – to walk with great power. You are brave. You are kind. You are loving. You are thoughtful. You are adventurous. You are excellent.

You have purpose.

You have influence.

You have favor.

You have strength.

There isn’t any room for “I’m just….” thinking in that lineup! So set a reminder as your screen saver, write it down on a sticky note, make a deal with a friend to remind one another of just how incredibly influential you each are. Then walk in that influence to inspire another “one” to do the same. We all need to be reminded and encouraged in the truth of who the One created us to be. No, we aren’t superheroes. But we just might find ourselves in the middle of the One’s plan to save the world by walking as the one He created us to be. And all because…

You are adored.
