About your importance to God…
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The
LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evil men
advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall. 3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. 4 One thing I
ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in
his temple. 5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he
will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. (NIV)
It is easy to think we are not important to God. Each of us is only a tiny
speck among the mass of His humanity that populates the earth. We walk upon the
earth only a brief time compared to the time the earth has been in existence.
However, no matter how small and insignificant we think we are to God, God
thinks otherwise. To God, you are so important He was willing to send His only
child to die for you. You are so important to God, He will walk with you and
look over you all the days of your life. You are so important to God, no matter
how far away you walk from God's path, He will always call you back to be His
own. You are so important to God, no matter how much you fail to do what God
wants you to do, He will always forgive you and call you to be His child. You
are so important to God, no matter how lost you might be or how lost you might
become in your life, God will always search for you as a parent searches for a
lost child. You are so important to God, He will do all of these things for you
because He loves you. Remembering you are important to God and remembering God
loves you will carry you over every difficult moment you will ever experience.
Remembering God loves you will give you the power to overcome all the obstacles
of your life. Whatever we think about our life, about others, about ourselves,
or about God, we must always remember we are important to God and He loves us
beyond our ability to comprehend.
