Am I Significant?

“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27 NLT

            Am I significant? Does my life matter? What is my purpose for living? Why am I here? If you have ever asked yourself either of those questions, or if you are struggling with them now; let us tackle the first one. Am I significant? The answer is a thousand times, yes!

            The mere fact that God has created you in his own image establishes your significance. You matter to God and you are precious in His sight. You are His creation; created with the ability to reason, to show emotion, to love, to know right from wrong, and to enjoy fellowship with your creator. Your life matters to God because He did create you and He does have a purpose for your life. You are here, (wherever here is at this moment) by God’s perfect design and purpose.

            You are significant because God knows you. He knew you before you were born and He had specific plans for your life beforehand. The Lord told the prophet Jeremiah, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” (Jer. 1:5) Wow, what does that say to you? The Lord God knew you before you “before ‘HE’ formed you in your mother’s womb.” And yes, he has plans for you, plans that only you were designed to fulfill.  

            Be encouraged my friend if you are feeling insignificant, or if you are questioning your purpose in life. Reconnect with God, your creator. He has the plan for your life, that’s why he created you.

            Am I significant? A thousand times, YES!
