I AM Significant

I don't always feel very significant.  I live in a city of approximately 66,000 people.  My state has over 5 million people.  The United States has just over 315 million people.  There are  7+ billion people in the world.

I feel insignificant.

I'm a stay at home mom most of the time.  I have 2 part-time jobs that take me out of my home about 10 hours a week.  I have never invented anything.  I have never managed a corporation.  I have never handled more than a few thousand dollars.  I have barely left my country.  I have never cured a disease.  I have never met anyone famous.  I have never made a speech to thousands of people.

I feel insignificant.

But almost 2000 years ago, on a hill called Golgotha a Man named Jesus took on Himself all the sins of the world... including mine.

I AM significant!

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.  (1 John 2:2)

 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

 

Our kids often feel this insignificance, so share with them how truly significant they are in the eyes of God.
