Don’t Allow Anyone To Put Down Your Existence

Melissa Brown

Don’t allow anyone to put down your existence, because your life has meaning and you have a purpose. KNOW THAT YOU ARE IMPORTANT AND THAT YOU ARE ENOUGH. Often times as individuals, we get discouraged about the purpose we have on our lives based on the validation we may seem to seek from others like our family and close friends. And when we don’t meet up to their standards, we hurt. The lack of their validation of us can become quite painful, but in all actuality, we are not called to please other people or to seek their validation. The word of God tells us in Jeremiah 1:5, “When you were formed in your mother’s belly, I knew you.” While you were being formed in your mother’s belly, you were also being formed, shaped and prepped for the purpose God has for you, and in that purpose, He’s also blessed you with gifts, talents, characteristics and a voice with the power to affirm that would contribute into the God-ordained purpose. Like everything else, these things would have to be cultivated and developed over time. In that time, there is the growth process that can be a little painful while He is shaping and molding you into one of His instruments. Scripture also reveals that children are a reward from the Lord; as an adult, you’re a product of God’s reward, which makes you a valuable asset to Him, which is quite fascinating and far supercedes the opinions and validation of others. God knows the plans that He has for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). Through all of what God has designed you to have, He’s also given you the ability to change and save lives. Whether it’s through spoken words, the acts of kindness or talents displayed, each and every one of us has a different journey and in that journey, there are also levels and seasons in the times that we’re to be blessed as well as being a blessing to others. And interestingly, while walking your journey, there’s no time limit to success. Don’t allow anyone to bully you into what their time limit of success is. To everything, there is a season; it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to accomplish anything, the success comes upon its final completion. Be proud of who you are and how God has made you, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made; and the great news is that He still continues to work with you, and on you knowing how great you are and can be, and He does this because you are the apple of God’s eye and He has not given up on you, even when it seems like everyone else has. Be encouraged beloved, for there’s a lot that God has in store for you. Just learn to begin to trust Him and watch how the blessings will continue to unfold for you. Remember, don’t allow anyone to put down your existence, your life has meaning and you are called for a purpose.
