How do we get where God has put us?

We've been talking about the start of our life here on this planet. Using the explanations given by the only human being that has ever convincingly explained and demonstrated in his life and death that he really was the Son of our Creator, we've said that you and I were created as part of our Maker's son to fill the earth with his life. But God knew we could only know and understand Him if we knew the nothingness that was the only alternative. So he made it possible for us to reject his love and his son in whom we existed, bore the pain of his son's separation from himself and made you and me again in the milli-second singularity of eternity. You and I have this second chance -- but only our Creator knows the particular short-circuits and peculiar corruptions that have occurred in each of us. We've been given this life to receive our personal reconciliation to our loving Father.

So when you feel you're a little nothing -- and that nobody notices you or cares whether you even exist, the only answer you can think of is to show people how important or unique you are. You "throw your weight around" -- you boast about something you can do well -- or you insist on someone doing something they don't really need to do. If you're a parent or teacher or boss, you create an incident or argument by insisting that something is done in a certain way or at a certain time that isn't really necessary. The strange thing is that this often makes other people ignore you more so that you seem important only as long as the incident lasts.
