It matters

Greetings!

It matters. That's my thought for today. God is so awesome. He keeps blessing me over and over again and not because I do everything right or that I am so special, but I know I am special to Him. I'm not sure about a lot of things, but I am sure that God loves me. I know it because that's what His word says.

God says that...
- I have been redeemed
- I have been justified
- I have been changed

All of those things happened to me at the moment I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. The other thing that happened is that I realized that God cared for me. It matters to Him when someone hurts me. It matters to Him when I don't live up to my full potential. It matters to Him that sometimes I still get afraid. I am His creation and He takes great pride in my achievements. When I don't do what God has called me to do I am living out of order, because if He says I am...I am and if He says I can...I can.

God had a plan for all of us waaaaay before we were born. What we do matters to Him and it should matter to us, but we get so down on ourselves from comparing our lives to that of other people that we think we don't count and nothing we do matters. God doesn't feel that way about us and He doesn't want us to feel that way either. God needs us to help carry out His ministry on the earth. Don't get me wrong...God can do it without us, but He gave us specific gifts and His word says He wants us to use them. In Ephesians 2:10 it says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

So, that's all I wanted to say today....you matter to God and what happens to you matters to Him...

Until next time...

Be blessed
