Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt as if you didn’t matter? I have felt that way.
When I was growing up, I felt invisible and that I didn’t matter. I can remember wanting someone to see me; to care enough to take an interest in my well-being.
It wasn’t until I was 19 that I truly felt that I mattered. That is when my aunt and uncle took an interest in my well-being to introduce me to the One in which I matter most: Jesus.
You see I matter, you matter, to God. Jesus Himself said,
”If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it…“ Matthew 18:12-13a
This verse tells me He values the one: each person, you, me, matter to Him! We matter so much, that He would leave the 99 to find us.
God took the hand of the scared, invisible little girl and said, “Mo, I see you. Come with me and I will show you how I see you; who you are to me; who I created you to be. You are my beloved daughter in whom I delight! Allow Me to walk you through this journey, equipping you with the tools and how to use them for your and other’s good and My glory. Allow me to show you what a true Father’s love and affection looks like: pure, perfect; a love that gives, not takes. Let me show you how I can turn your story of hurt and despair into a story of hope for others to see. I love you, Mo. I will be with you always. I will NEVER abandon you, but instead I will go before you and make a way for you to use your hope story to encourage others.”
He transformed my life; He can and will do the same for you. Just reach out, take His hand, and allow the incredible journey to unfold. Because you matter.
If you’ve ever felt invisible or unimportant, remember that you matter to God. Reach out to someone you trust, reach out to God Himself, and share your story with others. Let’s support each other on this journey of realizing our worth. You are not alone.
