I Corinthians 12:15 - If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
Have you ever felt like you weren't needed? valueless? unappreciated? Consider with me the difference between a dime and a thousand dollar bill. The dime seems almost useless in today's economy. And who wouldn't like to have a few thousand dollar bills lying around?
The major difference between a dime and a thousand dollar bill is the insertion of a few zeros at the end. The zeros may not have any value on their own but they make a big difference once attached to another number. The role of the zeroes is of utmost importance.You may feel like that zero. Let me encourage you. The thousand dollar bill could not exist without three zeroes behind the one. If even one was not present, it would not be a thousand.
No man ever built a multimillion dollar corporation on his own. The finest chefs in the finest restaurants must have servers and dishwashers. The highest paid CEO needs a janitor to keep the office clean. In fact, the janitor is the first one missed if he doesn't show up for work.
God has given all of us something to do. It may not seem like the most important job but it is necessary. You may think no one would notice if you weren't doing your job, but they would. If the young man pulling the trash would work like he owned the building, one day he may own it. If the young lady waiting tables would greet her customers as if she owned the restaurant, one day she may.
Do you feel like a zero? Keep working as if you were the thousand dollar bill. I promise you, God sees all, and other people do too. People are usually observing us the most when we think no one is watching. Give it your all and one day you'll see you weren't such a zero after all.
Thoughtfully,
Sullivan Jones
