You
Matter
by
Barbara Philbrook
You matter
and you are important, I will tell you why.
God loved you so much He sent His Son to die.
To be
willing to hang shamelessly, beaten on a cross,
just so those who accept Him would not suffer loss.
To have
been rejected and falsely accused,
to have been mentally, emotionally and physically abused.
To have
been ridiculed and taunted by those He came to save,
and then to be buried in a borrowed grave.
This was
not done by one who wasn't aware.
He knew the things He'd face but continued to care.
Though not
elated about what He would face,
He prayed to His Father to give Him enough grace.
Grace is
the favor to get one through,
and this same grace is available to me and you.
No matter
what we are facing it will turn out the right way,
if we are surrendered to God today.
You matter
and God wants you to be aware,
that if you reach out to Him He will be there.
