We see crowds of people at a football game or watching the fireworks, and it’s more people than we can imagine. We hear of deaths in battles in Afghanistan or the death of a child in Orlando, and we are hurt and grieve. Yet, sometimes we become insensitive. Do people really matter?
As Christians, we know the answer is a resounding yes. The scripture of John 3:16 makes it clear that God so loved the world – that’s all of us! – that he gave Jesus. That concept of how important you are – that you are loved and matter – is a concept that can make so much difference in your personal life.
We have a Bible Study on Thursday nights at our home, and anyone in the Tulsa area is welcome to come. One thing we emphasize is that you matter to God. In a sense, it is a self-esteem Bible Study. Mike has called it a “God-Esteem Bible Study”. It helps us see that we’re okay; God loves us. It may be hard to understand that He loves you and me and everybody else, but that is the beauty of God’s love. Click here for information about the Bible Study.
