Belonging
That third one really caught me attention. Why would Jesus write his name on the individual pillars? While I was thinking about this, God showed me an image from the 1999 Pixar movie Toy Story 2, where the underside of Sheriff Woody's boot is seen and we could read the name "Andy" written on it. That name indicated belonging. Andy was his kid. He belonged to Andy, and Andy was letting the whole world know it. Woody belonged to Andy and we belong to Christ Jesus.

Insignificant
Do you know what we put in shadow boxes? Precious things. Things we want to show off. Things we are proud of. You're not insignificant. You're precious. And odds are, you're exactly where God has carefully placed you.
