You Matter, You Are Not an Accident, God Created You For A Purpose

1 Cor 6:19-20 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. NKJV God bought you with a price, the death of His own Son. That is a very precious price to pay for you. If God did not love you and you were not precious to Him, He would have not done that. You are very important to God and He loves you, and you are very precious to Him. If you were worthless, God would not have paid a precious price for you. You are not worthless. You are God's. You belong to Him. When you allow God to dwell in you through His Holy Spirit, great things can be accomplished. God can use you, and as a result, you can make a difference in many lives as a result of God working through you. Be encouraged by this. Never get discouraged. Never let anyone make you feel worthless, because you are not worthless.

If you ever thought that you did not matter, consider this:
1. The boy who talked to you at the bus stop, and you were there to listen to him to find out his parents spend all their time at the bar and don't pay attention to him. Your time spent talking to him could have meant a lot to him.
2. The girl who came to talk to you when you were working on a car, and you were kind to her and found out that she has a divorced mother who works a lot and her dad never comes around. Your kindness to her could have meant a lot to her.

3. The guy who rides by on a bike who stops to talk to you, and you find out that you were the only one he had to talk to.

Had you not been there, what would have happened to those people?


If you ever thought you would not accomplish much, or that you were insignificant, I would like to tell you otherwise.

Phil 4:13

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
NKJV

If you trust in God, God will cause you to do great things, and those great things come from the love, kindness, compassion, and care that you have for others. By showing these things to others, you are doing great things. You do not have to be the president of the United States to do great things. The love, compassion, kindness, and care you show towards others accomplishes those great things. Every one of you can do great things and there is no one who cannot do great things. Be encouraged by this.

Have you ever thought that you could not be used by God, think of this:

Jacob was a thief, but was yet used by God and he became Isreal. Peter lied & denied,but yet was used to build the church among Jerusalem. David had an affair, but yet was a man after God's own heart. Noah was an ugly drunk, but yet built an Ark to save his family and the animals from the flood. Jonah was judgmental & bitter, but yet preached to Nineveh to repent so that God did not take His judgment on them. Paul was a murderer, but God used him to do great things. Moses had a speech problem & a temper, but he was used to lead the Isrealites to the promised land and freed them from slavery in Egypt. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. If you think God cannot use you, think of these guys on how God used them. God can use you to do great things if you trust Him. There is none of you who cannot be used by God.

Many times when we have been abused or bullied, people take away our sense of self worth. We feel worthless, useless, no good, stupid, or dumb. We feel that we don’t matter. We feel that we are not much of a person. We feel that there is something wrong with us. We often get depressed. I would like to share some things with you.

Eph 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
NKJV

We have been created by God, we are His workmanship, God created us for good works in which He prepared for us. God can and will use us to do great things if we trust in Him. You matter, you are not worthless, God gives you your wisdom, and you are not stupid or dumb. Just because you are not the same as someone else or can do the same things they can do, God gave you unique abilities to accomplish His will, and those abilities are very valuable. We are all different and no two people are the same. You are not any less of a person because people were mean to you. God loves you and I will show you God’s love and how valuable you are.

John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
NKJV

God loved you so much that He gave His son for you. God paid His life for you, you are that valuable to Him. If you were not valuable, He would have never done that for you. You are not an accident, God created you, and God cannot have accidents. You are not a mistake, God cannot make mistakes. You were created because God had a purpose for you. You will be there to impact other lives, you are there for other people who need you. What if you didn’t exist and you would have been the only person who would have been there for another person, that person would have no one. What if something you did or said impacted or changed someone’s life or even saved it. That person’s life would have never changed if you were not there. That person’s life would have never been changed, or that person’s life you might have saved would have been gone. What if you encouraged another person who in turn encouraged another person, and as a result the other person encouraged others and many others were encouraged. This would have never happened if you did not exist.

Have you ever thought about how many people you could impact in the future, or how many people may need you in the future, and the difference you could make? Think of that. You will find out how much you matter. You will find out how valuable you are. God can use you to do great things if you trust in Him.
