“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18 NIV)
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3 NIV)
We have all heard of the black lives matter, blue lives matter, ect. Well, here is one more. I matter! All my life I was told I wasn’t good enough, I was second to everyone else. That is how I grew up, last to be considered for everything. But God took that broken person and made her whole. He took the broken pieces of my life and made me a somebody who matters.
The song, “Nobody” by Casting Crowns says it for me:
“Cause I’m just a nobody
Nobody by Casting Crowns
Trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody
Who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus.”
Today, I stand before God. I am not perfect but I don’t expect to be. But I am willing to serve him anyway I can. I may still be the last to be considered. I may still have broken pieces. But in God’s eyes I am perfect. And you know, that’s all that really matters. I don’t care what people think anymore. I only care what God thinks.
I’m trying to tell everybody about the Somebody who saved my soul. God gave me a new song to sing. Now I am living for God and telling everyone I can about my Savior and what He can do for each of us. I want to encourage each of you to spread the word about God. Tell the world how our God saves. He loves each of us.
Have a great day.
