Significance and Love

While we may accomplish things that are significant, they may not be where we find our significance. Our experiences may shape us and help us in the process, but they are not the ultimate source of our significance. The ultimate souce for our significance is based on who we are and whose we are, it cannot be based on what we do...we are loved by God!

Answer these questions: When have you known most fully that you are significant? When have you known that you are loved? That you are important?
