YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD

Ephesians 4:2-3 NLT Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

We all know God mostly speaks to us through scripture but there are times when something jumps out at us, maybe in a film, or a book or even in a car advert which happened to one lady when God spoke to her! 😊

Well as I read ‘The Word For Today’ yesterday these words really spoke to me… “You are the most important person in the world to God when you are the one He has called to do something for Him.”

The truth is, God has ‘called’ each and every one of us to do something for Him every day of our lives. It may be in our witness when He wants us to speak to someone, or in the attitude we have when we want to be grumpy, but we choose the high road, to be gracious and forgiving, to be kind and generous, to be thoughtful or patient as our verse says. It’s what He calls us to do.

The Holy Spirit is nudging us throughout our day to become like Jesus (Romans 8:29), and we’re the most important person in the world to Him when we respond and do what He asks of us. 

He may call us to do something very specific, but often it’s in our moment by moment walk we have with Jesus, when we choose to speak for Him and be God’s important person at that moment; when we choose to lend a hand when we’d rather not bother; when we choose to not say something that would be ungrateful or critical, and instead we say something positive or share our faith.

So as you walk with Jesus and follow His leading today, you can put a smile on your face and be uplifted knowing you are the most important person in the world to your loving Heavenly Father as you follow His lead. Amen.😊

4 Isaiah 43:4 NLT Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.
