While I got tickled at her self-evaluation, I can’t help but think that
we should all be so confident.
It’s interesting that we sometimes suffer feelings of worthlessness
even though God says and shows us that we were worth being created.
During Jesus’ life the market value for two sparrows was a penny and
yet they were valued by the Father. Jesus said, “So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matt
10:31 NIV)

Gail;
-----Each of our own mental contexts is incredibly limited. We think and reflect most upon the things which effect us more. And those are the things we’ve experienced, studied, or just read or heard. Amongst six billion people, one person’s experiences are less than a drop in the bucket to all the other experiences. And this is just amongst the current generation. Before us there have been generations after generations after generations of folks experiencing different things yet. And there may be more generations to come.
-----We mistake the import of such an ocean of human experience. We think it minimizes our own relevancy. Yet every other individual soul lives or had lived with the same portion of individual relevancy. The whole of it is not the measure.
-----The hole left in the ocean of experience had you not been is the measure. Few individuals have had an effect directly upon the entire mass of people. But every individual has had much effect upon those around him. History would not be complete without you, or Lydia. And history truly is God’s story.
-----It does not matter how limited our mental contexts are. It only matters that we each are a stitch in His tapestry, which would not be complete without that stitch. So God pays attention to each stitch as if the whole tapestry depends upon it. And in the sense that history needs that stitch to be complete, each soul is worth the whole tapestry. It’ kind of like the measure of Christ paid for each individual.
Love you all,
