No, the World Doesn't Revolve Around You

Have you ever noticed how some people think everything's always about them? People don't realize that they are simply one person on a crowded planet of over seven million. The truth of the matter is that the world doesn't revolve around them, although they tend to think it does. Everyone on the planet has the same value and worth, not based on what they have, but on who they are. As a person they were created by God with not only purpose, but value. In Psalm 139:13-14, David tells us how God sees us, "How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, You are still with me." What an amazing description about how God feels about you. In one sense, the world doesn't revolve around you, but on the other hand, you are precious and loved by God Himself. You do have great worth and value. This isn't based on what you have or what you do, but is simply based on who you are, God's wonderful creation. Today, stop thinking everything's about youself and begin to think about the greatness of God's love toward you. He made you for a specific reason and purpose, putting His utmost thought and care into you. Yes, you may be one of seven million people on the planet, but God made you personally. Wow!
