Fame Game

I've noticed this really strange trend over the last few years, that seems to be growing instead of winding down.

It seems that  most shows geared toward kids have something to do with becoming famous.
And they are targeting younger and younger audiences.

Which while not overtly wrong it does help grow this seed of discontentment.

As if an ordinary life is somehow less than enough.

If you're not famous then you don't matter.

What a strange message we are sending our kids.

But, maybe it's not just our kids we should be worried about.

Perhaps we're becoming warped in our thinking as well.

We start puffing up Facebook statuses with tales of kids who never fail, always make the honor roll. . .
We begin comparing our whole lives to brief status updates from people we haven't seen in twenty years.


And that begins to create feelings in us that our lives are not enough.
That we are not enough.

God's Word tells that we are all unique and all special because we were created in His image.
That we are known by the One who knows all. And not only are we known, we are loved.

 Perhaps you feel like the world is overlooking you.
That you're unseen.
Unknown.

If your life is falling apart around you, or  you've dealt with the stubborn 2 year old for longer than you can remember, or the teenager that won't listen, the husband that doesn't see you anymore. . .

Please remember that YOU ARE ENOUGH.

Not because of some warped idea of fame we have, or some misguided sense of perfection, but because you are created by the one who created ALL and He says that you are amazing.


Blessings,
