In a land of Giants

Has there even been a time in your life when you just felt small?  I mean, you felt as though everything and everyone around you was bigger than life, and there was no way for you to measure up to them?  Try as you might there just wasn't anyway for you to compete with those around you, at least that's what you thought.

Society and the conditioning of man has a way of making people feel small. Most of this is because inside many people is a feeling of smallness, and the only way for them to feel better about themselves is to transfer those feelings to others, in an attempt to make them feel less about them, and better about themselves.  There is only one way to combat these emotions and that is to understand the beauty and significance of who you really are.  Once you understand just how phenomenal you are I promise you that even in a Land of Giants you will tower over everyone else.

I have observed people who get all of their worth from the position they may hold at the time.  They are what they do.  God help those people if they ever loose that position because they would have nothing to claim as their own and life as they know it will crumble into a million tiny little pieces.  If you cannot see yourself as significant without all the trappings of a big fancy job, then even when you do process such things you will still not have a clue as to the real you.

Greatness, true greatness, starts from within.  Greatness is not based on the square footage of your corner office on the top floor of the Corporate Headquarters.  Greatness is measured in the size of, and your own understanding, of your heart.  Society has sold most people a bill of goods in making them think that success is measured in the job you have, or the stuff you might have accumulated over the years.  There are so many people who gain their self worth by obtaining stuff.  Problem arises when they have to get rid of that stuff, and as it is rolling down the street so is their self worth.  In a Land of Giants, stuff means very little as giants could smash all of your hard earned bobbles into tiny little worthless pieces.

I know of very few people who have not been faced with obstacles in their life.  How one sees these obstacle is in direct correlation to how they see themselves.  If you see yourself as small then these obstacles will almost appear insurmountable.  If on the other hand you see yourself as Spirit sees you, then the pitfalls and setbacks in life will be nothing more then a minor nuisance.  So let me ask you: how do you see yourself?  Are you a giant or are you just a tiny little speck on the butt of humanity?

You were not created to be just an "insignificant" nobody.  You were created to have dominion over all things.  Now let me clarify:  I'm not saying you were put here to dominate others.  That is nothing but ego and pride and quite frankly I have no room in my life for those who want to dominate others simply because if makes them feel superior.  The heart of a person who desires to be of service to others is never focused on ruling, but rather supporting and helping others become what they were destined to become.  I cannot stand those who stand around feeling superior to others.  We are all equal without regard to what one has, what one does, or even where one might end up.  Superiority is not measured in status or wealth, but rather a knowing that there is a purpose for you being here.

I have known many, many people who all they care about is being better then everyone else.  Most of these people are masking insecurities.  Many of these people have to maintain this image of superiority because without it, they really are nothing.  Be honest, you know people like this, and if you are anything like me it sickens you.  I love people and I desire that everyone know the real them. It bothers me when others try to make others feel small just so they can feel better about themselves.  God you can smell this garbage a mile away, and I try to stay as far away from this type of stench as I can.  Don't get me wrong, I will still try to help those who think they are better then others, but I will admit that I have to hold my nose from time to time.

Until such time as you can recognize and accept who you are, you will always be trying to hide from the giants.  Until such time as you can grasp your own true identity, you will always be looking for that big giant foot to come down on top of you, crushing you and any dreams you might have.  Are you going to start living equally with the giants, or are you going to continue to run and hide from them because of how you perceive them and how you see yourself?  You are who you were always intended to be.  You are unique, special, and every bit as phenomenal as anyone else walking the planet today.  When you can begin to see yourself in this light, then the giants that have been hovering about you will all of a sudden shrink down to your size and all those things that you once feared will simply fall away.

It is time for you to take your rightful place, and that place is one where you will reign over a land where others look to you for guidance, for understanding, and for love.  When you can display this type of majesty, then you will no longer be running from others, but running to them, to share what you know, what you feel, and who you are.  Get out there and share you with the rest of the land, and slay those giants.
