For anyone who has ever felt underestimated…

Did you know the light of one candle can be seen from miles away in the dark?

Think about that, one small candle when looked at in it’s small form might not seem capable of that. It may be underestimated for its size or natural make up. But in the right atmosphere and at the right time it can be seen from miles away. Giving light to darkness.

You see where I’m going with this I’m sure…

The definition of Underestimate is:

1. estimate (something) to be smaller or less important than it actually is.

2. an estimate that is too low.

I think we do that with ourselves and sometimes with others.

We limit or disqualify and discount by looking at natural things…

Here’s the good news!

God loves to take the small, the seemingly weak and underestimated, to show how strong, capable and wise He is.

When we’re surrendered and dependent on Him. He will take our “yes” to Him, our weaknesses, our effort to do our best and shoot it like light across the sky pointing to Him for all to see.

That’s when being underestimated is a beautiful gift.
