What matters is not the enormous things you do for people, but the little things you do for God

Don’t be scared when you hear great plans from the people around you. Don’t be scared that you didn’t think of something like that until you came up with their idea. Do not discourage them, but encourage them to do good to the world in which they live, DO NOT ENVY THEM!

The biggest lie that will come to your mind is that you are not good enough to do something as great or worse, that you are not good at anything. This is the lie that makes you give up your fight, that takes you away from God and locks you in your own thoughts, that will discourage you more and more every day. Your own thoughts are able to shamelessly lie to you when you let them go free… And it hurts you so much to believe such lies!

Every human being was created by God for a purpose. And if you feel that you have to do the same thing that this one does, think that God also created the snowflakes and that no two are identical. In this case, why do we compare ourselves to others? Why do we not realize that we too have our way in God’s great plan? Why would we consider ourselves unimportant when we know for sure that He is not wrong?

The greatest struggle we humans have is between us and ourselves. That great “I” we don’t want to let go of in any way is the thing we have to bring down every day. That “I” puts ourselves at the center of the universe, transforms us into our own idols, and separates us from God, the One whom we should thank for everything we have succeeded or failed.

The more that “I” becomes more and more important to you, the more painful the fall (when you realize how little “I” helps you to be happy). You will realize that you have struggled to get ahead, but that you have nothing in fact. You will realize that nothing enormous that you have done has ever mattered to you… because the only true fulfillment, the only full happiness comes from God, which you refused when you chose “I ”.

It doesn’t matter what others do, no matter how impressive it may seem at first glance. The important thing is that God has a plan for you and wants to work through you, He wants you for Him! The only thing you have to do is accept His plan and not go out of His word, and that means putting that “I” aside, giving up on Him — that is, not taking on any part of the work you do. God puts it in your life, but to thank Him, to give Him the glory he deserves. Every little thing for Him is more important than every great thing done for any other purpose or for anyone else.
