This is a small journal entry I had 6 years ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/3ot2rq/god_thinks_you_matter/ [Disclaimer: do not go to reddit to do Bible Study. They are of such liberal bend that they will censor you if you mention the parts of the Bible that doesn’t fit their Biblical narrative. Before I was banned for posting scripture about sexual immorality being a sin, I spent years feeding the sheep there the truths of Bible Study. I post this link just so people know I did not make this post due to recent events. I’ve been telling everyone they matter for close to two decades.]
God thinks you matter. God thinks you matter than the sum of all the matter in your body. God thinks you matter more than the sum of all the matter in all the stars. God loves you more than any mother has loved her child. So no matter what life throws at you, be content with God beside you. Whether things are good or bad, God can help. God can do miracles and heal any malady. And even if someone passes away, we can do life with God, knowing someday you’ll meet again. God can take the pieces of a broken life and forge a new you. Trust in Jesus. He loves you dearly. He thinks you matter. Jesus is LORD!
Another article from 5 years ago: God thinks you matter a great deal. Lets try and live like Jesus to honor Jesus.
Each of us is alike in that we’re all special and called to a purpose in life. God is special too. God had a purpose when he came down to Earth, and he lived a perfectly good life, sinless, preached, brought people to hope, and ultimately died while doing good. Our life isn’t exactly perfect or sinless, but once we come to Jesus, we should make it our aim. Now even the best of us who refine our words, thoughts and actions to do the best good we can end up sinning. We’re to aim at being perfect and without sin, but we still sin. The key is that we’re to try and do better than we did the day before.
Now the thing is that we all have different lives, bodies, experiences, desires, hobbies, education, abilities, talents and so on. We’re all so very much unique in many ways. So as a result, what could be a test of spirit for us, might be really easy or tough for someone else. As we pass trials and temptations successfully, we bring glory to God. Being special and unique allows God to show the saving power of Jesus in different ways across his people. One person might have been a slave to an addiction before learning about Jesus, but then began to have a struggle and fight against it as that person came to faith and learned what they did was sinful. The struggle against sin and addiction is real for each of us. And if it seems really tough for you individually, that might be that way to show just how much Jesus can help you overcome.
Jesus changes people. He’s been changing lives for the past 2000 years. And one life that impacts another life has a ripple effect. The angels might not be able to see the future like God, but they can see how people’s lives are changed and impacted by Jesus for the better. I’m not sure when Jesus is returning to Earth to end all human suffering, but I do know that a lot of time should have passed to see just how many people’s lives change for good. Perhaps the enemy thought he could corrupt everyone to evil over time, but since the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, corrupted lives have been becoming purified. Jesus won the victory over sin and death on the cross. And we’re examples of his work as we come to faith. So the next time you come to a test, really try to do your best to be honest, loving, good, pure and righteous because of Jesus Christ. You can be an over-comer if you want to. You’re made special, and Jesus knows what you’re going through isn’t easy. By trying to be like Jesus though, we can fight through and resist a lot.
I’m a dude who knows Jesus Christ is real. My prayer is that you have a greater faith in Jesus. Also I hope you have a good week.
Another article from 4 years ago: A friendly reminder that you are loved by God. You matter!
Look up at the stars that God has made. Aren’t they beautiful? We may not be able to explore everywhere out there before we die, but God will give us infinite time to live in the next life. I’m sure there will be lots of adventures in store especially considering we will not be able to get hurt.
The stars make some people feel small because of how big they are, but I know God cares more about us. God loves us each more than all the stars he created. God makes us feel big. Still, lets not get prideful. Lets stay humble, and God can even lift us up on Earth.
God loves us more than any mother loved her child. This is a fact. God loves us more than we can know even if we know this! So feel loved, and that you matter. God thinks you matter and God’s opinion is basically fact. So who cares if a jerk disses you? Pray for that person that they get in line with goodness and love, but don’t let anyone drag down your self esteem.
My prayer is that you have the self esteem to press on, the humbleness to know you God may have great things in store for you even if you aren’t doing anything seemingly important now. Remember Joseph was sold as a slave and falsely imprisoned before he became a head of Egypt. Remember David was just a kid watching sheep and became one of the greatest kings of Israel! God can do that for you. Embrace goodness and love. Pray. Prayer changes reality. And read your Bible. Even if God doesn’t make you president in this life, you are a lower case god,adopted child of God, and he has paradise ready for you in the next life. Trust in Jesus. Jesus is LORD!
Another from 6 years ago: You matter a lot to God.
Whether you’re walking with Jesus or you’ve yet to know him, God loves you incredibly.
Some people look up in the vastness of the universe at the expanse of space and the incredibly big stars and black holes then think,”I feel small.” Well know God loves you more than all of those stars. God loves you more than any mother has loved her child.
God loves you so much that he suffered and died so he could spend eternity chillin’ with you.
There are many more… Maybe I’ll add em in future articles some.
