Part of the Whole

Each of us a tiny, fragile, unique, and necessary part of a flawless and beautiful whole. We are inrreplacably significant, the only possible and wholly needed answer to the problems we solve, the only one who can fill the roles we take on. We are special, the novel manifestation of a divine plan. We are immeasurably valuable.

Thing is, so is everything else.

Our place in the world is great indeed, but our greatness is not one of dominion. We are amid a holy creation, churning with blessing and providence. We should have no doubt that we are loved, and that our work is good, but at the same time we need not hold ourselves higher than anything else.

So, know that you are needed, and be proud you have holy place in the greatest plan ever made... and at the same time, bask in the glory and beauty of the rest of the grand design, doing good to all things.
