Video: Significant in Every Way

I used this video for a girls’ camp Golden Hour devotional:

Here’s the text of the poem as a printable, or you can get a idea for a handout

Significant in Every way

by Pamela Hirwa

As insignificant as it may seem,

as small as you may feel,

your duty is clear.

Clothed in modest garments,

decorated in charming beads,

a young woman trods the streets of Sunnyside.

Although invisible at first,

everyone turns their heads to behold such a sight.

Molded and created in the image of her Father,

she walks with her head held high.

Reaching for the stars, she aims high,

but how will she fulfill this?

By keeping on, pressing on.

With two steps at a time the homeless adhere to her words.

Her voice lingers in every man’s ear.

Quietly, reverently, as if no sound made at all,

she partakes of the fruits of life.

At that instant, knowledge flashed in of

where she was from, where she was going, why she is here,

and how to fulfill her destiny:

Giving, preaching, showing – no, that wasn’t all –

living by the law of our Heavenly Father,

walking on holy ground

and adhering to the Holy Spirit’s whisperings

are but a few that should be done

that all who will listen to her,

abide with her,

talk with her,

look at her

shall know of her divine nature.

She is you, me, and us – the perfect example of a

humble, faithful, steadfast, confident,

courageous, well-mannered, modest, virtuous

youth of latter-days –

walking in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ.

See, you are not insignificant.

You are the solution needed

for the problems in the world of today.

So do not shun away.

Stand on the highest building top, and be a lighthouse to those many
ships lost at sea.

The best part of “Significant in Every Way” for me is the sincerity with which Pamela reads her poem. (I also love her accent!)
