“I’ve become the invisible woman,” she said. The other ladies in the group nodded knowingly. Surprised at the shared sentiment, I wondered how each of them had arrived at a place of feeling unnoticed…inconspicuous…unseen. Had their identities been swallowed by motherhood? Lost to unhealthy marriages? Buried beneath daily demands and responsibilities?
The conversation prompted thoughts of Christ’s compassion and concern for those who lived unnoticed, invisible lives. Lepers. Tax collectors. Women. Though each was an outcast, Christ spent the majority of his time ministering to the very people considered unworthy of his attention.
His gentle touch healed those slowly rotting away and dying for want of human contact. His words of life transformed corrupt and greedy men into selfless givers of truth and hope. His Creator’s heart acknowledged the value of the undervalued.
With Christ, dear friend, there is no invisibility. Seek his healing touch. Immerse yourself in the truth of his life-giving, transformational words. Remember that your value and worth were ultimately expressed in his sacrifice on the cross.
Today’s Action Step:
Embrace the truth. Put your name where the words the world are written.
“For God so love the world that he gave his one and only son…” John 3:16
