Yet how easy it is to forget this truth.
To forget that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made".
To forget that God loved us enough to step down to our level.
To forget that God saw us, chose us, loved us and pursued us all the way to Hell.
To forget that God has demonstrated His love for us in a way so few ever will: He died for us.
To forget that He has made us His children, and so we are Princes and Princesses of Heaven.
It's so easy for me to forget that. So easy for me to believe the Lie that I'm just another face in the crowd.
So easy to think that no-one sees or cares.
So easy to believe that I'm not important, at all.
And I know I'm not alone in this. Some of friends of mine have recently expressed this same dissatisfaction. So this is for them and all of you who struggle believe that you're anything special:
People may ignore you.
People may not see you.
People may take advantage of you.
People may talk you down.
You may feel worthless.
But a diamond doesn't stop being a diamond if it gets hidden a dusty corner.
God's Love doesn't depend on the opinions of people.
God's Grace doesn't depend on your opinion of yourself.
God's Mercy has made you His.
God's Graciousness has made you Royalty.
God's Creativity has made you Beautiful.
God's Design has made you Perfect.
God's Eyes never lose sight of you.
God's Arms never lose hold of you.
And God never messes up the Waltz He takes you on through life.
