YOU ARE IMPORTANT

Always remember you are unique and you are important. There is no oneelse in the world quite like you. You are special. There never has beenand there never will be anyone like you again.

Don't let people take away your respect for yourself. No matter whatthey say or do remember that you are very important and a worthwhileperson, and always retain respect for yourself. They cannot take awayyour self respect and dignity, for you control what you think ofyourself and no one else.

You have your own special qualities and talents, and though you may nothave the talents and gifts that someone else has, you have your owntalents and gifts that others do not have. No one else can be you. Onlyyou can be you. Try to be the best you possible.

Remember also that you are important to other people. You cannot helpbut touch the lives of other people as you go through life. There aremany people who need your love and support, and who look up to you, andwant to emulate you. People you may not even be aware of need you, andwatch your life, and if you give up and fail yourself, you are failingthem and letting them down too.

And you are important in the eyes of God. The Bible says that God lovesyou very much. The Bible says that God loves you so much that He sentHis only begotten Son to die on the cross foryou.
