The book of James is becoming one of my favorites. On the surface, this 3-or-4-paged book-- for lack of a better word-- seems to be a small contribution to the bible; however, I emphatically disagree. As I was reading earlier, It occurred to me just how efficient, yet powerful, James had been with communicating--with just 5 short chapters, James was able to deliver a word from God that would continue to impact the lives of millions for generations. Surely, James was not the prolific writer as was Paul, by whom most of the New Testament was written; however, I do believe James' ministry was just as important as Paul's.
Many times, we as Christians compare ministries. Sometimes we're so concerned with keeping up with the next person's ministry, that we lose focus of the ministry God has given us--I too am guilty of this. However we must be kingdom minded and not carnal minded. Stop comparing the tools that God has given you to the tools He has given someone else, for as James said "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father..." (James 1:17).
You are significant. You have purpose. Discover yourself in Christ. God loves you.
