Paul Johnson... for a short while

I can give things significance because significance has been given to me. There is only one that has significance on his own. He in himself is significant and needs no other verification. There are a couple of important lessons that can be drawn out of this:

1. Your value and significance should be drawn mostly from a single source. Other people can try and put you down or make you feel insignificant but in reality they have no power other then to talk at you. You can let them build you up and give you respect but you cannot base your value on the significance given to you by humans. The eternal giver of significance is never changing and always faithful in telling us that we are valuable to him and therefore ultimately significant.

2. As we have been given value we need to give it to others. When we tell someone else that we believe in them and what they are doing, we trust them with our possessions, or we simply say: “I love you” with genuineness then we can give them a tangible boost (If they accept it.) This is a duty we have to each other before God. Let’s pass on the significance and respect to those around us…

(P.S. When originally thinking of this I was thinking of #2 and the relationships around me.)
