INSIGNIFICANCE--- in · sig · nif · i · cance- noun-“ the quality of being too small or unimportant to be worth consideration.” Have you ever felt like your life was insignificant? You’ ve maybe asked yourself what part you could possibly play that’ s of any value in this world? Or possibly, how could God use you when you have so little to offer? I know I’ ve been there. I could describe many areas where I struggled with these thoughts, but there’ s one I’ d like to focus on right now. And that’ s giving to missions.
Money has never been something I’ ve had a surplus of( though very few ever feel like they have enough), but when it came to world missions and even giving to my church, I felt like I could never give enough to mean anything. I’ d tell myself there’ s no way my few dollars or occasional $ 20 could help these people overcome the overwhelming darkness around the world. But God gently taught me over the years that our obedience is what multiplies our giving. It’ s not about the dollar amount – it’ s about my heart. When I told myself that my $ 5 wouldn’ t make a difference, I let the enemy win, and I proved myself right. It’ s true: my $ 5, still in my pocket, couldn’ t make a difference. But $ 5 in the hands of my God? It can change eternity for many people.
You see, we serve a God who took five loaves of bread and two fish and fed more than 5,000 people. What makes us think that even $ 1 won’ t be significant in His plan?

their families worldwide. And our ministry partners( Jesus Film Project ®, Missionary Ventures, and Global Christian Relief) are doing the same! If you don’ t know much about our ministry partners or the heart of CMA’ s ministry, I’ d encourage you to scan each QR code on the side to get a brief glimpse of all that God is doing through these amazing organizations.
The enemy wants nothing more than to convince you that your life has no meaning or purpose. By believing his lies, we become complacent and stop moving forward in faith. We stop sharing the love of Christ because we don’ t believe we have anything significant to offer. And we become stagnant in our faith, instead of rushing forward with confidence that God will do amazing things. He promises He’ s with us, and He tells us we have a purpose in His plan.
So, who will you believe? The one who tells you you’ re insignificant? Or the One who loves you with an everlasting love? He has given you gifts, talents, and resources that belong to no one else – you have a significant purpose in His plan. The greatest of which is bringing the light of Jesus to the world around you!
Through CMA’ s Run for the Son, you can witness God moving all around the world. One dollar can change someone’ s eternity. So, let’ s dig deep, let’ s obey what God is asking us to do, let’ s tune out the enemies’ lies, and let’ s give! YOU can make a difference! CMA
