Someone who cares...

Have you ever talked to someone and you could tell they really don't want to talk to you and they certainly don't really care what you are saying? This happened to me today and I was feeling hurt and very belittled. Like I was not worth their attention or not important enough for them to care.

So after my personal pity party, I was reminded of a few things:

1) THERE IS ONE WHO KNOWS MY WORTH AND THAT IN HIS EYES I AM WORTHWHILE !

Matthew 10:29-31 (Message Bible) says:

"^29-31"What's the price of a pet canary? Some loose change, right? And God cares what happens to it even more than you do. He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries.

We are worth so much to God! He even knows the numbers of the hair on our heads. Wow I am even worth more than a million canaries--hey I'm told in Genesis that I am also created in God's image Sounds like I am worth a lot.

THANK YOU LORD!!

2) THERE IS ONE WHO WANTS TO HEAR MY WORDS AND HELP !

Philippians 4:6-7 (Message bible) says:

^6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

He wants us to call unto him with our thoughts, worries and concerns. He cares so much about them that HE will work everything for the good and I like what they message version says "settle you down" He will settle your heart as no one else can, because He already knows our heart and what we need.

King David in the Psalms is a good example of someone who went to God with all types of prayers. Prayers of thanksgiving, Prayers of Fear, Prayers of Anger and God reached out to him in his prayers. God even called him a man after of my own heart. David showed God who he really was in his prayers. In today's terms, David held nothing back in his prayers. YET GOD said HE IS A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART. Sounds to me that God appreciates us when we tell him all things.. He LISTENS and CARES for every word we say!!

In closing, if you are hurt, offended by someone or something this world may throw your way; Remember God thinks you are pretty special and He always wants to hear from you!!

^{1 Peter 5:7(NIV)} Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
