During worship Jesus gave me a memory smell, of my time working at Giant Food Store in E-town PA, when I was 16-18 years old. The smell took me back to the salad bar work. Then He began to walk me through my time working there, reminding me of things and feelings I had not thought of in years. Things that caused pain and things that did not make sense.
He reminded me of a bird that got stuck in the glass entryway, at work, and how it kept flying into the glass trying to escape, and how its beak was bloody and it hurt my heart. He told me today, "Jamie, I remember that bird." I felt He wanted me to know He sees every little thing.
He told me that because I was working there in that season, and in their lives at that time, some of them are still alive.
He reminded me of all the times I felt inadequate for what I was hired for, at my jobs. And how others even told me I needed to change how I did things.
Then He told me,

Then He told me,
"You were not good at what they hired you for, but you were GREAT at what I called you there for, and you made a difference in their lives. I have called you to change lives as you walk with Me! Jamie, I have had you on the mission field all your life! Your love, My love flowing through you into each person who has stood in-front of you, has meant the world to Me. Every broken person you checked out at the store and each persons table you served at, I loved them through you. Every person you spoke to on the phone was the mission I called you to. Thank you, Jamie!"
My Reader, Don't take it for granted that God has placed you where you are, for such a time as this!
