You Are More Valuable Than You Think

Takeaway: You don’t have to let fear hold you back.

Context

In this part of Matthew, Jesus is talking to His disciples. He’s preparing them for the challenges they will face as they spread His message. It’s a tough road ahead, but He wants them to know they are not alone.

Meaning

This verse is all about reassurance. Jesus reminds us that we matter deeply to God. Just like sparrows, which seem small and insignificant, we are valued much more than we realize. When fear creeps in, it can make us feel worthless or alone. But knowing we are loved and valued can help push that fear aside. We can trust that God cares for us and sees our worth.

Think about how often we let fear dictate our choices. Maybe it stops us from trying new things or connecting with others. This verse challenges us to remember our worth. Fear can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define us. We can find strength in knowing God has our back.

Live It

• When you feel fear this week, take a moment to breathe and remind yourself you are valued.
• Write down three things you appreciate about yourself. Keep it where you can see it.
• Reach out to someone who may be feeling afraid. Offer your support and encouragement.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What fears are holding you back right now? How can you remind yourself of your worth when fear arises?
