Worth More Than a Bird...Really?!?

What does it matter?
What difference does it make?
Who cares?
Who’s going to notice?

Today, you might feel tiny, small, insignificant. Today, you might feel as if nobody sees you, nobody hears you, nobody knows you’re there. Today, you might feel like the world has already ended.

The crazy part, the part I don’t like, is knowing that no matter what I say, what I write, no matter how much I reassure you, tell you I love you, hug you, call you, text you…I can’t change your  mind. I can’t fix it. I’m not the remedy (though every ounce of my being wants to be…codependency, HELLO!).

But, I know the remedy. I know the answer. In fact, I know him personally. I know him by name and he knows mine. He’s been there for me in my darkest moments. He’s been there for me when I felt like this world, this life simply wasn’t worth it anymore. He’s been there for me when I felt on top of the world and he’s been there when I felt like the world was on top of me.

His name is Jesus.

What does it matter? Everything.
What difference does it make? Eternal.
Who cares? He does.
Who’s going to notice? He already has.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7 NIV84

I love these verses because upon first glance my response is, “So what! What the heck do sparrows have to do with me?” Exactly. We place value on things that have little or no value at all. Things. Stuff. God wants you to know He values you MORE than anything you have or can think of. Gods wants you to know you matter. God wants you to know He loves you. You’re not forgotten. He hasn’t let you go. He loves you.

He loves you.
You matter.
Don’t take my word for it; trust His.
