Other people don't always make you feel like you matter. But you matter to God. And you're safe with him - forever.

We might sometimes wonder why God chooses to love us and forgive us. But we don't have to wonder if he actually does. 

Your value is determined not by what others think of you, or even by what you think of you, but entirely by what Jesus has done for you.

There is a reason for our joy. It's real. It's lasting. It doesn't depend on anything we do.

Day or night, the Lord cares for us in ways we could never care for ourselves.

The eternal perspective Jesus gives us on our lives is our place of security.

How do we deal with guilt? God gives us the best answer of all.

God sees all you do through the lens of Christ's perfect work as our substitute - and assures you that your acts of faith are worth it.

When you're surrounded by people making life difficult for you, remember that God places himself right where you are - to love you.

God has been good to you this past year, and he will be good to you in the year to come.
