"Lois Lane: There are three million people living in Metropolis. They are background players in your life, keeping your "set" alive with noise and bodies and smells and traffic and yells. If one day, one of the regulars simply wasn't there, you probably wouldn't notice. Who would? There are three million people living in Metropolis, and YOU are a background player in THEIR lives. If one day, you simply weren't there...Who could notice?
As the emergency personnel and squad cars descended on Pier Three that bitter afternoon, the same question bounced from radio to radio. "What is Superman doing here?" Why had the Man of Steel taken time to recover the body of a fifty-year-old Costa Rican Newspaper Man who had never been anywhere or done anything important?
Because not a single one of us is background noise. Because when one of us disappears...someone should notice. Every person is star. A life. A heart. A voice. And when a voice is silenced in the darkness...another must rise to see that justice is done."
~Action Comics #792
I love Superman. Most of you already are aware of this but just in case you didn't, I love Superman. I was reading this and loved it so much. I always grew up in pretty small towns. I could walk anywhere and it was pretty much a guarantee that I would bump into someone I know. Since I've been in L.A., it's crazy to me how lost in the crowd and busyness you can get. Within the day you can cross paths with thousands of people yet still feel completely alone. I love that even though I am just a random background person... I'm not.
There is value in my life. Although Lois Lane talks about Superman placing value on each life he saves, Jesus gives me that value.
Thats my goal as I begin working with the youth down here. I want to speak value into people lives, inspire them, tell them that each one of them is a star, a life, a heart, a voice, they don't have to feel lonely. That's what Jesus can do for them. I love that this is what I get to do. I love encouraging people. And I love that Lois Lane gets it. hahaha
Anyways, just wanted to share.
Happy Friday everyone!!!!
