I Don't Feel Like I Matter

By Paula Williamson guest writer

I don’t feel like I matter–Big fat lie!

There are days when my best efforts seem to matter little or make no difference to anyone. Whether it is because of the response or lack of response from others, my own doubts and insecurities, or just the enemy beating me up–I have a choice to make. I can agree with those feelings and thoughts or contradict them. I am not a powerless victim whose negative thoughts and feelings are in control of me. I can go to the word of God and find a better truth to believe. If I do not know the Bible well enough to find one, I can Google scriptures about, “Do I matter?” Instantly–I read, “I am deeply loved, I have inherent purpose, I am more valuable than the birds, I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and the list goes on.

I challenge you to try it!

It is written:

ROMANS 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Prayer

Lord, Jesus gave His life for me. Help me realize my value and purpose. At the end of my life, there will only be one person whose opinion will matter, and that is Yours. I ask for help and faith to walk in what You say about me, what Jesus did for me, and the destiny You created for me. Help me live for an audience of one.

Devotional Take Away

I am loved, valuable, and precious. My past does not define me. The world

does not define me. My mistakes do not define me. My feelings do not define me. I am going to let the Word of God define me.
