Someone is waiting for you to be the best of who you are. – Jocelyn Soriano
You’re not alone. Even if you’re not married, even if you don’t have kids, even if you think you’re a loner. Still, you’re not alone.
You have been born into this world from a mother and a father who gave you life. Even if you do not know who they are, you will forever be their child.
You have met people along the way, a kindergarden playmate, a classmate, a room mate, a friend, a stranger you passed by one busy morning or one lazy afternoon.
Other people you hardly knew may have prayed for you. Others pray for your help. Still others are already there, creating a link of love that goes on and on throughout the world.
You may not know it. You may not believe it. But your life is important.
Someone is waiting for you to be the best of who you are, to be strong, to be compassionate to those who are longing to be loved.
The next time you feel you are alone, think of the many people whose lives are affected by your own. Think of the way other peoples’ lives have inspired you or have shed light in your darkest hour.
You can also be that person. With God’s help, you can make other people know that they too, are not alone.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another, having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. – Romans 12:4-8, WEB
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
