Unwanted

"The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted."


Mother Teresa of Calcutta



So many feel that they are unwanted.  We wander hither and yon hoping to find love and yet true love is difficult to find in this world.  We are more open about it than ever.  We look on Internet dating sites, we ask others if they know of someone and we even invite others to pray that we would find a partner or someone to share our lives with.  There is no doubt that the affection and love of someone of the opposite sex is a real self-esteem booster and valuable in people's lives.  Yet even while we are experience this sense of being valueless we reject, time and time again, the greatest statement of our value ever made.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  (John 3:16)

Whatever your situation you are valuable.  God has declared it so.
