"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:6-7).
Have you ever felt like no one even knew you existed? Have you ever felt invisible? Do you ever think that no one would miss you if you were not around? Would they even notice? Would they care? The devil tries to make us feel like no one cares about us. He convinces us that no one loves us and we are not important. If we listen to his lies and believe them, we will live our lives accordingly. Our lives will be fruitless because we feel like we don't matter and are not important.
Jesus was saying in this passage that even the sparrows, which were plentiful and not real valuable, are noticed by God. He knows when one lands on the earth, he knows each one of them. He goes on to say that we are more valuable than those sparrows. He says that every hair of our heads are numbered. This means He is so personal with us that He knows how many hairs we have on our heads. Wow! He knows more about us than we know ourselves. He is a personal God Who cares deeply for us and is aware of our thoughts, our intents, and our attitudes. Nothing that happens to us takes God by surprise. He is aware of it all.
God loves you more than you could ever imagine. He cares for you and wants you to know how important you are to Him. He wants you to realize just how valuable you are. Look at what He says about you:
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;" (1 Peter 2:9).
He puts great value on you. You are on His mind always. He watches over you and hears you when you call out to Him. He hears you when you pray. He sees your tears, and knows your struggles. He understands your feelings and cares so deeply for you.
Don't believe the lies of the devil. Don't believe that you are not important. Don't believe that you are not worth God's love. Don't believe that you are not precious to God. Believe God's Word that He loves you. He sent His Son to die for your sins. If you were not loved or valued, He would not have done so. You were worth Jesus dying for. You were worth that supreme sacrifice. You are worth salvation. You are worth grace, mercy and love. You are worth forgiveness and all His blessings. He loves you enough that He wants you to spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Repent of your sins today, accept Him as your Savior and receive His love. His love is real.
You are loved!
