Day 13: 13 January 2016

You Are Important

Waking up at our regular morning time, 5.20am, Francis is getting ready for school. Suddenly, he holds his stomach and curled his body saying "My tummy is hurt Mama".

The challenge is, we know sometimes he did it on purpose, trying to escape from the undesired breakfast of his.

My wife and I trying to console and encourage him that it will go away. But he continued to say it is hurt. And curled his body deeper.

Time passing by, we need to leave the house to school, patience is getting shorter and shorter. I almost break loose until my mind reminded me that, hey, he is important.

So instead of screaming and rushing him to finish his breakfast; I decided to tell him:

Francis, you are important, your words are important, your opinion is important. And I told him that I trust him and requested my wife to send him to doctor instead of school.

Indeed it is true, all of us are important. Each one of us, is Important!

Psalm 139: 13-16 says "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them"

Each one of us, are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are wonderfully made!

Ya, not only Francis, but all of us. Including you that reads this devotion at this moment. Go find your mirror and tell yourself that "I am wonderfully made!", "I am important"

There you go!

This means, everything that you do, is important. Your words are important, your thoughts are important, your acts are important, your works is important, your singing is important, your effort in study is important and everything else in you are important!

Thats why we are one body (1 Corinthians 12:14)

Thats why we are the ambassadors of God (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Thats why we are one family (in FGCC), no one is more important than others. We are all important. You, you and you.

And remember the higher importance you are, the humble you should be. After all, in restaurant, normally those that rude is normally the waitress, while the boss (the important person), is always humble and gentle.

So now, Rise up, uplift our mind and remember, each one of us matters, each one of us is Important.

And btw, Francis is really ill :( having fever and need to skip school for 2 days.
