Maybe you feel like you missed out on opportunities, or perhaps you never quite fit in no matter how hard you try. This feeling of being overlooked can be isolating and discouraging. However, it is im- portant to remember that in the Bible, God often uses "leftovers" for His greatest work. One of the most well-known examples of this is the story of David. When Samuel was asked to anoint a new king, he assumed it would be one of Jesse's older sons. God proclaims to the prophet in 1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT),"...Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." God chose David, the youngest and seem- ingly least important of the brothers. Yet, David went on to become one of the greatest kings in Is- rael's history, leading the nation to great victories and penning many of the Psalms that we still read and cherish today. Valuable And Loved No matter how unimportant or unwanted the world may deem you, remember that you are valu- able and loved by God. He sees your worth and can use you to do great things if you are willing to trust Him and step out in faith. If you are feeling insig- nificant today, remember that you are not alone. God has a plan for your life, and He can use even the most unexpected parts of your story to bring about His great purposes. Take heart, my friend, and trust that God can use you, just as you are, to do great things for His glory. In 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (ESV), Paul reminds us, "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, I praise you as the God of Love. You are the very essence of love, and you love me with an everlasting love. I am in awe of who you are, and how you made me in your image and after your likeness. Forgive me for doubting my worth, and allowing the lies of the enemy to be louder than your words. Please help me to embrace the truth of who you say that I am instead of people's harsh words toward me. Please remind me to speak your word over my life instead of engaging in negative self-talk. Lord, I ask that you use me to help oth- ers learn about your great love for them. In Jesus' name, I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to connect with you!

The Untouched Side DANYALE PATTERSON Rachel, Courtney and Lydia Brown were enjoying shoping together at the Craft Fair at the Fellowship Indepen- dent Baptist Church. Jeff Melton photo For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise fi rst. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
