On Being Indispensable

I had this thought about a week after I was laid off- you know, after the initial shock of being a statistic of 1 in 11,000. ‘No person or company will EVER value my goals, dreams, vision, and heart stronger than me. No manager, team, or CEO will prioritize my needs more than me. No company will ever view me as indispensable, no matter the state of the economy or its market value… except for me.’

But… is it ‘me’ I’m after? No. Even I’m aware of myself enough to know I’m not the worlds greatest boss. 

The truth is, not even my values and goals are enough if I’m aligning them with earthly things. But, if I’m aligning my dreams and mission to God’s vision for my life, I can’t lose. The only performance review I ever want to see again is the one at Heaven’s gates, where God opens His arms and says, “Well done good and faithful servant.” In Him alone, I am indispensable. I’m seen, known, worthy, valued, and highly favored- things no company could ever provide me. He sees my heart, knows my dreams, and continues to swing doors wide open that I didn’t know were even there.
