You’re Famous Enough

Not a long time ago, I wanted to be known. Infact I was desperate! In high school, yes I gathered much attention. I was such a peculiar child. I could also say God’s favor was upon me in much amounts unbeknownst to me.

I think being famous is all about you finally achieving the attention of a certain someone. Maybe a celebrity or a president. I found myself that even if I was quite popular (because I sang in church, and read the school news) I still wanted a certain person to know me!

I soon lost track of what I had, and went on to force myself into spaces of cool kids…the ones who never ate posho and beans for lunch, the ones who always took a soda and a sausage and an egg during break time…

For some I deem God attempted to touch their lives through me, but… If God had sent me to a cabinet minister of a clique of these cool kids, I’d use the same tactic to try & befriend the President of the clique, claiming I’d come in the name of the Lord.

Yet in God’s mind, the member he’d assigned me to, would peradventure lead the president of his clique to God! But I sent myself on a mission I’d not been assigned.

I wanted to be noticed more!

O how I wish I knew then what I do now! There’s this man…. This guy…this dude! He was always there. I always asked him to make me famous, little did I know I was already famous back then as I am now!

What makes you famous! Is it more followers on your social media accounts? I think what makes you famous is being known by the people who love you! And God loves you!

You and God make the majority! I have come to a place where I can exist without people’s praise! But I can not, without God’s! And to be known by God is FAMOUS enough! The problem is, you won’t know how famous you are until you know God!

First of all, He made everyone you know, all the people in the world, the ones you want to notice you! So if he made the people you want to notice you, I guess He’s the one you should be desiring to know & notice you—which He’s already had!

Many a times, I have longed to be friends with many people. And I’m sure God never had it in his plan but I was over wailing so he eventually let me come into their spaces!

When I got in, I realized they were hollow! These people were purposeless, their hearts were set on things below, on gadgets and possessions, on looks and fleeting riches, and then…it hit me, they also were seeking out, to be noticed by another certain person!

The cycle goes on and on! Your knowing that you don’t need more attention will help others break the cycle! When you discover how famous you are (since you’re known by God,) others will want you to notice them!

But when you notice them, it won’t be from a carnal mindset…you’ll instead point them to the one all men need to find so that the question and thirst to know whether they matter, whether they are famous…is quenched!

To me, being known by a certain person is all one needs to be famous! Who’s the president when compared to God? Who’s that celebrity when compared to God? Who’s that pastor? Who’s that politician? Who’s that rich man? Who’s that girl or boy…compared to God!

God knows all of us! We are famous enough! I mean it’s God! The one who made all you see! All the stars and suns! He’s the bomb! The real deal then is you knowing that God knows you! It is you knowing that you’re famous enough!

Cease seeking attention!

The one that matters knows you!
