Why are you here? Are you important? What is the point of existence? All these questions have sad answers unless there is a God worth believing in. What is existence for without God who gives us the one thing we need most. Purpose!
I believe you were created unique and vital to the time and place you were brought into. You have inherent value based on who created you. You have a point and purpose for being here. Our job is to live that out.
Think it through. God created you. He created you to be uniquely you. If He had wanted someone else He would have created someone else. By the very fact that you were created, you have been deemed important. In Luke 12:7 Jesus says, "But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows"
What does it mean, "the very heirs of your head are all counted? I picture a mother suckling her baby, have you seen it? Have you seen how she toys with her baby's tiny fingers and toes, she notices every wrinkle their pudgy little nose. Nothing escapes her notice or delight. Does God look upon us with the same delight? I believe so! He created you, when He created you He said it was very good! (Genesis 1:21)
The next question is... how are we to live out our purpose in these times? I would love to hear your thoughts.
