Love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n (John 15:12)<\/span><\/p>\n Significance<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “I cry out to God Most High, to God, <\/em>who fulfills his purpose for me.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n (Psalm 57:2)<\/span><\/p>\n Security<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress.” <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n (Proverbs 14:26)<\/span><\/p>\n Question:<\/strong><\/em> “I’ve always felt insignificant. When comparing myself to others who are more gifted and accomplished than I am, how can I not feel insignificant?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n You already have God-given significance … not because of anything you have done, but because of what Christ has done for you.<\/span><\/p>\n “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, <\/em>and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, <\/em>over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures <\/em>that move along the ground.’ ”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n (Genesis 1:26)<\/span><\/p>\n You were significant enough for the Lord to design a preplanned future for you.<\/span><\/p>\n “ ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ <\/em>declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, <\/em>plans to give you hope and a future.’ ”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n (Jeremiah 29:11)<\/span><\/p>\n “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, <\/em>that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n (John 3:16)<\/span><\/p>\n Realize that Jesus would not die for anything or anyone insignificant. You, indeed, have God-given worth.<\/span><\/p>\n “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? <\/em>Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, <\/em>the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n\n
