“What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7 NLT
With so many people in the world, it can be easy to feel lost in the crowd. In order to cope, we start to place our worth in correlation to physical things or we compare and rank ourselves with other people. We look at how much we’re doing as a sign of being a “good Christian.” To tell the real truth, we significantly undervalue our true worth, abilities, and significance in this world.
God never forgets who you are.
Today, I want to encourage you to remember your value! God knows the very hairs on your head! You are not ordinary, nor forgettable. The Lord knows how valuable you are to His Kingdom. You were created by Him on purpose for a unique calling. Never forget how special you are in His sight! If you ever get lost, look to God for clarity on who you truly are.
Reflect – Do you fully embrace that God knows every single detail about your past, present, and future, AND still sees you as valuable?

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36.

The Lord’s Prayer 11 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone
The Beatitudes 20 And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your
I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
If you or someone close to you is in need, we would be honored to lift you up in prayer. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, comfort, and reassurance during times of hardship. Our community is ready to join together and pray as we trust in God’s love and unending grace.
