Our sun is tiny compared to many stars out there. For instance, astronomers measured a star as having a diameter 1700 times greater than the sun. That would make that star about 4 900 000 000 bigger than our sun.
Of course, scientists can’t get truly accurate measurements of stars. But even with a large degree of inaccuracy, I’d be feeling pretty small if I was the sun. I may decide that, in a universe full of billions of stars bigger and brighter than me, no one would know the difference if I decided to save some energy and turn off the light.
Thankfully the sun doesn’t have inferiority issues. It keeps shining its brightest 24/7, even though it doesn’t get a holiday. And that’s a big deal for us here on Earth.
Maybe you feel small and insignificant compared to some of the “big stars” around you. Just like the sun, you have an important role that no one else can fill. You have no idea how many lives will be bettered if you, with God’s help, do the little things that you can to “brighten the corner where you are.”
