Devotional
Introduction
You know, I think there are only three kinds of people in the world:
insecure people, really insecure people, and monumentally insecure
people. Everybody I know experiences self-doubt, some self-loathing, and
envy of other people who seem to have it all together. Everybody I know
thinks sometimes, “I am a nobody. I’ve got nothing. My life seems like
such a waste.”
You probably know somebody like that. Maybe those feelings trouble you
too. You should know that God has placed unique and wonderful gifts in
you. You are a gifted person, and you have a God-given mission to
fulfill in your life.
I hope that this reading plan inspires you to see yourself a little more
as God sees you. The forgiving cross of Jesus means that God no longer
dwells on your sinful failures. Your sins don’t define you. He dwells on
your positive side and rejoices as you grow in your desire and ability
to serve him and serve the people among whom he has placed you. You are a
gifted person, precious to him and useful in your world as only you can
be.
God loves you! You are important to him. Let his love shine from your
life!
