Speak Over The Fearಮಾದರಿ

You and I Matter!

Generally, a chair is for sitting and a lamp is for light. Both items are designed to meet specific needs. Their presence matters. If you think otherwise, consider a house lacking these items. Would you want to live there?

How about you? What is your purpose? How are you an answer to needs within our world? Just as manufacturers design chairs and lamps to meet specific needs, we are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). God created us for specific purposes. If we are out of place, important needs will be unmet and people — known and unknown to us — will suffer. A classic example of a purposeful life is that of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Various disappointments, losses, and defeats marked his life journey. These setbacks provided compelling reasons to give up on his aspirations before and during his presidency. 

Ever resilient, his actions in securing passage of the 13th Amendment transformed our nation’s history and generations of lives. One life matters.

Individually and collectively, we have assignments to fulfill. You and I matter!
