You Matter

Hey Guys!

It’s been some time, but any time is better than never turning up, right? 

So I kept thinking I have never given an intro thought to why I chose the title for my blog, well it’s because I lost a major chunk in life thinking I wasn’t worth and I didn’t matter and it took a good deal of time to prove myself wrong and be confident. Hence the name “You Matter”

If you are that person who thinks that you don’t matter, this for you, by the way let me begin with a verse that really inspired me:-

Eph 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

The fear of being nothing can sometimes become so true that it often becomes a fulfilled prophecy, like when it's time to go for a job interview your fear kicks in and you think, what if I’m not going to impress them?, what if I look stupid? what if they ask me questions I can't answer? And eventually like it or not you end up being all that. The fear of insignificance creates the very dreaded result that you wanted to avoid all your life.

Stop!!!!!!

You're disagreeing with God! You're questioning His judgment, hey you are even “doubting his taste”, he created you and he believes in the abilities of his masterpieces, not one of us are insignificant, who are we to think otherwise?. 

His Word says “He can't stop thinking about you.” If you could count His thoughts of you, 'they would be more in number than the [grains of] sand' (Psalms 139:18 NKJV). 

Why does God love you so much? Sometimes, you need to relate the verse from Ephesians like an artist looks at his painting or a sculptor looks at his sculpture. God is your artist, he is your sculptor 'We are God's masterpiece. He has created us a new in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.'

So when you get up each morning, look in the mirror, and tell yourself, 'I matter, because God loves me!’. So go out and live your life, know that you are loved and as always – “You Matter”!
