significance
'Humans are made by God, and "in the image of God" (Genesis 1:27). We are able to relate to God Himself, and reflect who He is to the world. That makes each and every human hugely, and equally, significant. God put you together in the womb (Psalm 139:13-16). He has already mapped out your life (139:15). He knows what you'll say before you say it (139:2) And He's made you to know Him.
'That's a glorious, honoured position to hold. Neither a rabbit nor a rock can know God and enjoy relationship with Him. We can because He made us in His image. Our significance does not come from which family we're born into, who we married, what we do Monday to Friday or how we serve on a Sunday. It comes from being made by God, to know God.
'It's really quite mind-blowing. The One who spoke planets into being and flung stars into space thought of you, made you to be you, and loves you as you. No one can take that away from you, or give you and greater significance than that. We can never be, and never need feel, worthless.'
