Do YOU Matter? - Brent Phillps
Do You Matter? – John 1 – Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston
Do you matter? How you answer this question will determine how you will live your life. The way you live your life will always be a reflection of what you believe about yourself.
Somewhere along the way we have created this scale on how to determine if someone is important. We think that just because someone is famous or has more influence than us that must mean they are more important.
John 1:19-23 “This was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, “Who are you?” He came right out and said, “I am not the Messiah.” “Well then, who are you?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?” “No,” he replied. “Are you the Prophet we are expecting?” “No.” “Then who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” John replied in the words of the prophet Isaiah: “I am a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Clear the way for the Lord’s coming!’”
“A human being is so irreplaceable. So valuable and so unique.” –Goran Persson
Often we can’t see the value and power of our own gift because we are too busy focusing on somebody else’s gift. We devalue the gifts that The Lord has given us when we say, “If I only had this gift like someone else has, than I would really be making a difference…”
Matthew 11:11 “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he is!
Don’t discredit the gifts that God has given you by wondering if you are really making a difference with them? There are no ordinary people in the kingdom of God and you were created to be a difference maker!
You matter because, nobody else has your gifts, nobody else has your personality, nobody else has your sense of humor, and nobody else can give the way that you can give.
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”— St. Catherine of Siena
