Jesus Sees You and Sends You 

Ptra. Swanee Gumatay - Budiao

📖 Matthew 9:9

“As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.”

We all have a deep, God-given need to belong. But no matter how hard we try to fill it with what the world offers, it never truly satisfies. That need can only be met in Christ. The life of Matthew is proof of this truth. Jesus saw him, valued him, and called him. Matthew mattered to Jesus—and so do you. You are not overlooked. In Christ, you are fully known and deeply loved.

And just as Jesus saw Matthew, He calls us to also “see” the people around us who feel invisible—our coworkers, classmates, and neighbors. You and I are invited to be His instruments in helping others experience the same belonging we’ve received in Him.

💭 Reflection: Who around you might feel unseen? How can you help them know they matter—not only to you, but to Jesus?

🙏🏼 Prayer: Jesus, thank You for reminding me that I am valued and loved by You. Forgive me for the times I forget this truth. Help me to embrace it daily, and give me the courage to share my story so others may come to know You too. In Your Name, Amen.
