Oh, the atmosphere of an oncoming storm... that sound of the rolling thunder... the feeling that stirs inside as strong as the storm that stirs within the clouds.
I love the air that swirls around me as I watch the sky grow dark and grey. And then that first crystal drop of rain falls silently from above. It's astounding to think it came from such a height, having such an honest, effortless free-fall to the earth below. That first drop of rain was formed for the very moment it fell to the ground. It was shaped and shifted to where it needed to be to maintain the everlasting flow of God's will. That rain drop was important. Without it, how would the others know when to fall? But just as the same, if it weren't for the drops that followed, the first rain drop would be a leader to no one.
In the same way, we are all part of a bigger plan. Together, we shape and form the perfect, eternal will of God. We can look to the tallest mountain, and say the peak is the greatest of all. But how would it even reach such a height, if it weren't for the earth that formed its base? We cannot say the brain is better than the rest of the body. Without the body, the brain would be worth nothing. We are all connected, we are all shaped and formed the way we are for a much bigger purpose than just ourselves. If you are looking for your personal worth, don't look at yourself on your own, but rather, as part of a whole, the whole as the reason for life itself. And you will see that you are vital to this life. This is why I am here. This is why you are here. We are not useless.
