So don’t be afraid, you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
-Matthew 10:31(NLT)
GOD VALUES YOU
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you feel ignored, unimportant, unloved or rejected?
You are more valuable to God, no need to feel dejected
Among all his creation, he made you into his own likeness
Doesn’t it make you special that he gave you his righteousness?
The very hairs on your head are numbered by the heavenly father
He knows everything and he wants you to love one another
Don’t ever be afraid for you are God’s very own possession
He will ensure that you are going to be part of his plan for salvation.

In our world today, there is so much anger, hatred, violence and unloving acts. No wonder depression has played a big role in our lives. Depression has contributed to many mental as well as physical illnesses in our lives today. The root of most of these hopelessness is due to being devalued, unloved or rejected. I lived so many years with these negative feelings because the enemy has perpetuated many lies in my family that ran for so many generations. I stopped getting depressed when God revealed to me how much he loves me.
The bible tells us that we are God’s very own possession and that we are more valuable to him than all his creations. God knows all the details about us.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me to value you as much as you value me.
REFLECTION
How has God shown you tangibly that he values you?
