We all want to be great. One way or another we all want to be somebody special – somebody who will make a big mark in this world. But so many of us end up being blown away by the demands of what it takes to be great in this world. We think we don’t have what it takes. Instead, we end up frustrated that nothing has turned out exactly as we had imagined it to be as a child, when we had this big dream of being great. Life comes along like a big tractor-trailer and rolls over us, along with our dreams. We get up from our cathartic heartache and disappointment with this life, and we give up on our dreams. We finally say to ourselves this is the only way to live: marry, have kids, find a decent job, retire and die. We tell ourselves we will never be great so we might as well let someone else do it. Let someone else do the fighting and the grinding and the pushing and the shoving, while we mosey along and do what everybody else is doing, and accept life as it is.
Instead of trying to measure up to the world's definition of greatness, or our own definition, have you ever considered what the true definition of greatness is? Who is great but God? The book of Psalms said it this way,
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. {Psalm 145:3}
