Your spirit is not physically seen, but that doesn’t mean that you have to feel invisible on the outside, too. We are all sons and daughters of a Heavenly King. He knows us by name and wants us to become like Him and His Son. He sees us, even when nobody else does. He hears our cries, our pleas for help when we feel alone. He answers our questions, our concerns, and our confusion with love. Knowing all of this, and yet, I still feel invisible sometimes.
Do you ever just feel like you move through the motions day by day, and nobody seems to bat an eye or care? Do you want to feel wanted or needed, but don’t always get that? Maybe you’ve been asked and asked for all day long, but all you want is to be the one asking. Are you a wife who feels she’s not enough, or feels that she can never quite get things right? Are you a mom who struggles to find patience and feels inadequate at times? Are you a son, a daughter, a brother, or a sister who feels neglected by your blood? Are you an individual who seeks perfection from an imperfect world?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, welcome to the club. I, too, feel lost, confused, hurt, alone, and invisible at times in my life. I don’t feel like people see how hard I am working, or how hard I am trying just to be a tiny bit better. If they do see it, I don’t think they care. Perhaps they do, but they don’t care to share that. I know I could be better about showing and telling people that I care; I am not at all amazing at doing that, and I should be better. If I’m being honest, though, sometimes I don’t want to be the person to do it all the time. Is that selfish of me? Probably… and I’m working on that. I don’t want to be greedy or hypocritical. I just want to be like my Savior, so that’s what I’ll continue to strive to be.
