There are times in our life that because of the things that we hear and the situations
that we experience, we start to define our worth based on our current situations or on what people say. There also comes a point wherein we start thinking about our
significance in this world and then we start feeling inferior and unimportant. We start to think less of ourselves then we start isolating.
I’d like to share you some facts from the word of God about how significant and how important you are. You matter.
1. You are God’s creation.
You are not a monkey, you are a creation. God created you in His image and likeness. This is how precious you are to God as He even patterned you into His own image.
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” – Genesis 1:27 NKJV
2. You are a masterpiece.
You are not a random thought. You were not created just for the sake of having
a creation. God designed every detail of you in His image. You are His masterpiece and in fact, His best masterpiece. The book of Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 to 31 tells us the story of creation wherein God created everything including us. Notice that in
everything that God created He described it as “good” but not until He created us, you, in His own image when He described it as “very good”. That’s how much of a masterpiece you are.
Genesis 1:1-31
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was
good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and
the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry
ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from
the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the
livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each
according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that
move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
3. God knows you.
Since you are God’s creation. He definitely knows every part of you. God did
not create you just to create you. He wants you and He knows your very being. You
matter to Him. You are important to Him.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” – Jeremiah 1:5 ESV
“Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are far
more valuable than many sparrows.” – Luke 12:7 AMP
4. God loves you.
He definitely does. He actually even gave His own Son for you. He sacrificed
His own Son for you/us to be saved from eternal punishment and experience life with and through Him.
“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] [a]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 AMP
5. Jesus died for you.
We know that God gave His Son Jesus to die for us but Jesus himself has His own
free will to decide on His own. Yet, Jesus decided to still die for us even though He
knows what He is about to experience. He still decided to sacrifice and suffer for us.
That’s how much He loves us. He was actually thinking of you while He was hanging on that cross. That is why you matter. You are important. You are significant.
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” – John 15:9 ESV
This is how much God values us. We are so important to Him and He knows you by name. So stop letting your situations or other peoples thoughts define your worth. You mean so much to Jesus and He is desperate for you. You are important and you matter.
