Last Saturday, I was flying home from a meeting out west. I sat by the window seat and looked out on a blanket of clouds underneath the plane that stretched without interruption in every direction. It was beautiful. It was God inspiring, leaving me with a desire to praise God for His beauty seen in nature. It reminded me that I am very small and insignificant in relationship to the world and God’s creation.

But, then I was reminded of the lyrics of a Christian song by Laruen Daigle, “You say”. If you have never listened to it, you may want to do so. The lyrics point out that in God’s eyes we are so much more than what we see:

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I am not enough,

Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up.

Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low,

Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know.

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing,

You say I am strong when I think am weak.

And You say I am held when I am falling short,

And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours.

And I believe, oh, I believe. What You say of me I believe.

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me.

In You I find my worth in You, I find my identity.



May we all come to know how much we are loved by God. We are not insignificant. We are each cherished more than we can ever imagine.
