These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Learning to Be Okay with Being Average

I s'pose we all aspire to be
amazing in our own right,
but very few the world can see
by talents, that are so bright.

For most of us it's daily lives.
We eat, and sleep, and work jobs.
Our rest, peace, joy are all fives
of outside, inside doorknobs.

We nameless, faceless human souls
brought Jesus down to search for.
For we are not a number goal
He died and rose His church for.

Humanity may just see ants
when most look at our faces,
but He sees "cans" redeemed from "can'ts"
when He paid sins to grace us.

Though Christmas Day is gone this year,
Eternity is lasting.
His Purpose is forever clear,
"Salvation needs no fasting."
