Look at me, look at me!

One of my kids uttered those words at some point in the past. I’m sorry to say my memory on who is a little fuzzy. The reality is that they probably all said it at one time or another, so have I and probably you to. We all need to be noticed, to matter. Sons have from the very beginning struggled to gain their father’s approval, daughters have tried to live up to their mother’s expectations. One of the last things you ever want to hear uttered by someone you love(or anyone else!) is “what’s the use, no one cares anyway!” . We all want to be significant , to matter. One of Satan’s biggest lies and favorite weapons is to convince us of the opposite of that. He would love for you to believe that you simply don’t matter, your life isn’t important or valuable. What a stark contrast to the message that God has for each one of us, it’s found in the most well known scripture of all time, “For God so loved…” you know the rest. You mattered enough to Him for Him to send Jesus to die, you are significant, you have incredible value. Not for what you have achieved or even for what you can achieve, there is no condition , you just matter.
