Unimportant people

God has seen my hard times. He has seen all the work my hands have done. ~ Genesis 31:42 (NIRV)

Mary said, “My soul gives glory to the Lord. My spirit delights in God my Savior. He has taken note of me even though I am not considered important. ~ Luke 1:46-48 (NIRV)
Lord, sometimes I complain because I'm feeling that I am not important enough to you. That's because I have let the world system define what important looks like. I can't go on acting and thinking this way. It is not healthy. And it is not consistent with how you do things. Time and time again, you honor the people that everyone else thinks are unimportant. You use them. You give them influence. So, I am going to ignore the feelings of unimportance. And I am going to glorify you and find my sense of well-being in you. Amen.
