praise the lord

I know I’m not the only one that has ever felt less than or not as great in what I do or that I don’t matter. And that’s why I am doing this episode today.

Yet another perfect moment of God telling me what I should talk about while driving home today. And it all came about on a verse I had read earlier in the day that really hit me.

1 Corinthians 12:14-22, “Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.”

I read it and started thinking about how so many of us need to hear this and understand why it’s bad to exclude others and how important each one of us is to God and to the community & activities He put us in.

We REALLY matter. We just need to believe this truth & trust that no matter how low we feel when measured up to others, who we are and what we do matters to the One that matters most.

Let me tell you how this is true.

Here are 5 big ways that God shows us how really important we are to Him:

1. He Created Us
   1. Genesis 1:27, “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
2. He Blessed Us With Talents & Giftings to Share With Others
   1. 1 Corinthians 12: 7, “A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.”
3. He Sent His Son to Save Us
   1. God made the ultimate sacrifice to bind us to Him forever.
   2. 1 John 4:9-10, “God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love-not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
   3. 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.”
4. He’s Always There When We Need Him
   1. Prayer is the key here. He is only a prayer away.
   2. Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”
5. He Tells Us He Loves Us All the Time
   1. Jeremiah 31:3, “Long ago the Lord said to Israel: ‘I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.’”
   2. Isaiah 41:10, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
