It is innate human desire to
be noticed, counted, looked upon all the time. And to this purpose people
struggle and strive to keep themselves in the spotlight. People fear that if
they do not constantly stay at top leadership or always succeed, they will soon
be forgotten, lose their value and be worthless. This becomes our driving
factor to define ourselves with accomplishments, successes and improving our
social status. Unfortunately, religions of our age have also contributed to
division and hierarchies that spotlight some and ignores or demeans the others.
We find our position in our homes, society and in the place we identify
ourselves the most. In this pursuit, we inadvertently end up disturbing the
balance of peace and harmony.
If there is one thing this
article wants to reassure you is that you can never go unnoticed by the
sovereign God who has created you. If this truth seems absurd, it could be
because of your clouded idea of God today, which is hiding Him from you. Due to
contradictory and conflicting stories we have about God we seem to become more
superficial today. Most of the stories of God have become the source of man’s
creation and imagination which is why there are so many different versions of
the same story and some need censoring as they can never be taught or
introduced to children. Jesus is the only story not only of the fact that His
existence is authenticated by history and archaeologists, but also that He rose
from dead and promised to prepare a place for us and return to take us where He
is. That is the core message of the Bible. However, we tend to discard truth if
we do not wish to belong to it, even if its 100% genuine.
When Jesus’s story is truth
then let me reiterate this, you can never be forgotten, and you will never go
unnoticed. You don’t have to try finding God. He has found you already. He
knows your condition and brokenness and is always available if you would like
to call Him for help. I can relate with this truth in my life because for some
years I was available for people who were in need, who were broken and who
needed comfort. I never had the guarantees of the world, especially a regular
income. But my needs were never unnoticed by my God and my creator. When we are
in deep sorrow and feel lonely, our God is closer to us. As Jennifer Rothschild
states this, “No matter what your situation is, God sees your tears. He
hears your cry. He is mindful of what scares you, stresses you, and saddens
you. He not only notices your tears, He knows why they’re falling—and He always
responds with concern and care.”. Stop looking up to gods created by
mere human beings. You may continue believing but in the end you will be
disappointed. Jesus’ resurrection is the problem solver for the entire world. Would
you like to try Him?
