Believe That YOU Matter Because It's True

by Dr. Henderson Ward  
4/01/2017 / Christian Living


All across the world, people are destroying their lives because they have been brainwashed into thinking that their lives are useless, they are of no worth, and they just don’t matter. Suicide rates in some countries, especially among the youth, are alarmingly high, and although the church and some non-governmental organisations are doing their best, there is still much to be done to reassure people that they matter. Yes, folks, you truly do matter.

You do not matter to some –  until the general election when the politicians want your vote, and pander to your every whim, even kissing babies as if it’s their bounden duty, because they need you to get them elected.

It’s true that you do not matter to some, and you have no intrinsic worth as big business think – until they factor you in as a digit in their commercial plans to exploit you for gain.

We accept that you do not matter to some, because you have not climbed the lofty heights of academia, and have achieved great acclaim and notoriety.

It’s obvious that you do not matter to some, because you have not acquired great fame and fortune, you do not get invites from the rich and famous and you are not on their “favoured person list”.

Face the fact that you do not matter to some, because you do not live in a sumptuous mansion, with hordes of servants catering to your every need and the world supine, fawning at your feet.

It is not true, that you do not matter because the Mainstream media regard you as a nobody, someone of no significance or bearing until they have something negative, alarming, sensational or derogatory about you, and something that they can use to ingratiate themselves even more with their paymasters.

It is patently false,  that you do not matter because you refuse to join in their rat race, and spew smut and tripe, obscenities and nakedness over the social media networks like others, and refuse to associate and condone degenerate lifestyles.

They lie, and dishonour you when they say,  that you do not matter because you are decent, of humble birth, live modestly and moderately and covet no man’s silver or gold or fine apparel.

This world, this offence to the dignity and majesty of God, has it priorities badly wrong.

You may not matter to it, or them, but you do matter greatly to the most important person in the universe; Almighty God.

The moment you as a human being is born, whether that birth is inside or outside wedlock, (remember that no child is responsible for the sins of the parent), God touches you with something divine, something special, something eternal.

Humans are not like animals, never has been and never will, or fish, or insects and will never fall to those levels –  in the eyes of Almighty God.

Degenerate, puffed-up, pretentious people may regard some humans as worthless, a waste of time, misbegotten, trash, should not be born, vermin, rubbish and the like.

The staggering, sober truth is that degenerate, puffed-up, pretentious people are everywhere and they are a major problem facing humanity.

It is because these pretentious people think you do not matter, that they create unnecessary friction, and wars, and send you to fight so that they can enrich themselves.

These degenerates, because they think you do not matter, make bad and dangerous products that they know will do you harm, but they produce them anyway because the damages they may pay out in compensation, and legal costs, are dwarfed by the mighty profits they make.

These degenerates, because they think you do not matter, make laws that they know will harm the morals of society, allow things, like pornography, that they have proof are detrimental to humanity and will destroy family life, and will lie, cheat, and pretend because they think you do not matter.

The deafening, orchestrated chorus coming from their ranks tell you unmistakably their attitude as regards the people – they do not matter.

Should they want to misuse, and abuse you, then they will because they have the power, wealth and influence to get away with it – because to them you do not matter.

Terrible misdeeds are done in public, and behold no witnesses come forward, no one testifies to bring the perpetrators to justice because the victims are common people and they do not matter.

There is a cynicism building up in the world that the small person, the weak, the downtrodden can be wiped out without consequence because they do not matter.

And here is the biggest paradox of them all, the culmination of relentless battering. Some people actually believe that they do not matter, they are not important, they don’t count.

To believe that, is nothing less than a staggering INSULT to Almighty God.

It is exceptionally contemptible to look at that which God has made, filled with his spirit and imbued with divine facilities to regard as worthless and does not matter.

God’s ire is raised to enormous height when one of his children is offended. Here is what the Bible says about the offender: “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.’ (Luke 17:2)

Humans matter because God says so, and no person in heaven, or earth, can contradict that.

When God lost humanity through the sin and iniquity of Adam, he reached out to reclaim his own through the Lord Jesus Christ by the most awesome act of compassion known to us: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

God says that you are worth it, that you matter to him, and you matter to all those who teach, preach, and live the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Because WE matter, God sent Jesus Christ to die in our place to redeem us. “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things...But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” (1 Peter 1:18-19)

Because YOU matter, God has provided the Holy Spirit to assist you day by day, so that you do not stumble and fall. “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities...And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8:26-27)

Because YOU matter, God has provided you with your own guardian angel to make sure that Satan, and his demons, cannot overpower you. “The Lord’s angel builds a camp around his followers, and he protects them.” (Psalm 34:7 Easy to Read Version)

Because YOU matter, God has specially opened up a way to enrich and invigorate your life so that you can live abundantly since He broke down the partition between man and God, and we are invited to “...come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)

Believe it my believer friend, you really matter, and Almighty God, with the host of heaven, will show you how much so, throughout all eternity; when you live for him until you are safely gathered home: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

All this God will do for you, besides the blessings and honour he bestows on you daily, and please never forget it. Let this be the first thing you remember when you awake, and the last thing you remember when you go to bed at night. You are God’s child, a member of divine royalty, and you need to remember, and act like it, because in truth, you really matter.

Enough said.
