<p style="text-align: left;">You are a priceless treasure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;God feeds the birds and you are far more valuable to Him than any birds!&#8221; Luke 12:24 NLT</em></p>
<p>God thinks you matter, Jesus thought this was so important that he told three parables to illustrate how important you are. In <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2015">Luke 15</a> he tells the stories of &#8212; the lost son, the lost coin, and the lost sheep.  It&#8217;s the same emphasis in each story.  Jesus says, &#8220;You matter!&#8221;</p>
<p>You matter to God.  You are important.  You are valuable.  God says you are valuable because he loves you and he has accepted you in Christ.</p>
