One Matters To God

 

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.John 15:3-7

In God’s kingdom one person matters. I attend a new church plant in my small community in the shadow of Boise, Idaho and each and every time a new person visits is a time of celebration! 

You matter to God. Your problems matter to God. He sent His son Jesus to die for you whether you acknowledge him or not. He loves you with an everlasting love.

One matters to God but if you are that one feeling alone and lost try to get in community with others to share and pray. The devil tries to get you thinking you don’t matter. God is not impressed by titles, status, wealth or anything but he is concerned with the condition of your heart. Where is yours today?

PRAYER: Thank you that I matter to you Lord and you love me with an everlasting love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
