I was thinking this morning, about how people these days like to post almost every detail of their lives on social media. Now some of it is great to share! Others - 🤷.
I guess it's a kind of journaling. "If it's not documented, it didn't happen" as we are taught in nursing. I do like when my Facebook memories pop up to remind me of events and thoughts I've lived through.
And perhaps it's a need to be "seen" and have life experiences "validated" by others. To feel like our lives have some sort of impact on this world.
While I was growing up, I was one of the invisible ones. Quiet. Virtually unseen. At least, it felt that way. As time went on, I learned that I have infinite value! If God was prepared to give himself to buy me back, that was my value! And I am unique! I will never be replicated! A 'one-of-a-kind'!
Now some of you might breathe a sigh of relief at that 😄. But it's taught me that I am visible! To the most beautiful one of all!!! That he treasures me! And that has taken the pressure off me trying to be worth something here. Because he's taught me that I already am. And the need to be validated by others here fades, when the greatest of all "sees" you!
