When I was in High School, I never really felt important... or that I really mattered. I never felt like I really stood out in anything. I seemed to be average at everything I did. I had sisters who always seemed to turn the guys heads. One of my sisters who was just two years younger than me was blonde, tan and thin... just what the guys liked and just what I wasn't! I remember being on family vacations and as we walked down the streets or went to restaurants, the guys were always gawking at her and I always felt invisible.
Satan used those times to try and make me feel like I wasn't valuable. That I didn't matter.
But that wasn't true. I had a God who created every detail of me and loved it! He took great delight when He created me. I made Him smile.
Matthew 10:30 says "the very hairs on your head are all numbered."
Times when you feel nobody notices you and nobody cares, know that your God in Heaven notices every detail about you. He loves your smile, the way you laugh, the way you care about your friends. He notices everytime you walk into a room. He notices everytime you get down on yourself or just get discouraged.
God says not only do you matter, but you matter GREATLY to Him.
