You matter

An excerpt from the book Letters to Anne by Gwenneth Leane obtained from Amazon Kindle and KML publishing.​
You matter.
In day to day life, we often ask, do we matter?  Do we contribute to the world? Our nation?  Are we just a face in the crowd?
To our government we are only a number, go into the shopping mall, and we take a number and stand in a queue. We have no name and wait in line until our number for our number to appear on a screen. The social engineers would have us dehumanized. No identity. No self-esteem.  We are under their control.
The devil wants us to feel we are nothing because he knows he can defeat you when you believe you are worthless.
God, on the other hand, knew you before you were a twinkle in your parents’ eye, he had your life planned before the womb.  You matter to God!
 God calls you by name; you don’t have to queue up; God personally loves you.  He wants to meet your needs personally. He wants to make your life beautiful. God knows what you face because Jesus, in all points, suffered as we do.
We matter to God! So according to scripture, God says he will always give us all we need from day to day if we make the kingdom of God our primary goal.
Thought for the day:  I am glad that you go before me and behind me.  That your hand of blessing is on my head.
