To Save a Life

Lately, I've been thinking about life. I've been thinking about how important every one person is to the way the world works. Everyone has a purpose on this earth. Everyone was guided to where they are for a reason. I know this. However, I've often found myself having trouble applying this knowledge to myself. It's easy to think that someone else is so important to the world and to the people around them. It's harder to accept the fact that you are of importance too.

A lot of my life has been spent wondering if I make a difference to anyone. I think everyone wonders this at some point. I've wondered if my life means anything. Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing? Am I leaving a mark on people's lives? Will I die when I'm old having done my part, having fulfilled my purpose?

I just finished watching the movie To Save a Life for the second time in two days. It has had a powerful affect on my thoughts. Every person in that movie was important, even Roger who committed suicide in the beginning because he felt no one cared about him and he wasn't making a mark on the world. Even he meant something to SO many people. He saved lives! Someone who spent years thinking he had no purpose....he did. But he never knew that, because no one cared until after he was gone.

I've always known that everyone means so much to God. But what if they don't know that? What if they spend their life not understanding that they are significant to God's eternal plan? How sad! It tears me apart to think that someone may not know how important they are, how crucial their life is. But then I wonder.....Do I know that about myself? I know God loves me. I know that for a fact. But do I leave a mark on anyone...That I don't know.

But that....That is what I plan on finding out....And through that process, I hope to make a difference in the lives of those new people around me who I will meet in exactly two weeks...
