Someday I feel like drowning in sadness. I feel like I can't pick myself up from that dark place that seems to creep into my mind. I feel like no matter what I do, I will never be good enough. Will never matter.
Well, I do. And you do, too. As children of God, we all matter. We all have a big role in God’s plan for our life and for others’ lives. So today I'll be talking about how we matter in our lives, in other people's lives, and in God’s plan.
I get it. It can be hard to feel needed, wanted, and loved. It can be hard to even feel like you have a purpose bigger than getting up in the morning. Day after day, you drag on. Hoping, that someone needs you. Hoping, that you have something in life that matters.
You do matter. But more importantly, God matters. And God needs you to fill in these plans he has for your life. This intricate little plans he has for each one of us all tie together in the most amazing and stunning way. Your individual talents praise God. God has a plan for your life. God has a path we must follow.
Whether that plan is as small as taking a friend to youth group, Bible study, taking them to church, or just having a deep conversation about Jesus Christ is still plan. A plan that God has created and neds you to help fulfil.
When I say that I felt useless, that I felt unimportant, I mean it. I felt a hole where my happiness should have been. But God filled that hole. Without God, that hole in your heart will forever remain empty. I learnt at a very young age that God was good and the devil was bad. But I never fully understood this until I was saved. Knowing that God accepts you into His Kingdom, it makes you feel happy, like someone finally loves you and needs you.
I have a purpose on this earth. To serve God. And the fact that no matter who turns their back on us, that God will love us when no one else does, that's a wonderful fact.
