"But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God."
Psalms 40:17
This struck me today because I think we all feel poor and needy sometimes, whether financially, spiritually, physically, or emotionally. And it is an amazing thing that despite our neediness, of whatever kind, that the Lord thinks about us, and loves us.
Sometimes we feel really small... just one among billions, and our insignificance can seem overwhelming. And yet, God, the creator of all things... the *most* significant, know our names, and knows who we are, and wants to have a personal relationship with us.
In terms of obedience, we're often symbolically "less than the dust of the earth," as it is written in Helaman 12:7, but as for our inherent value, this verse applies far more: "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;" (D&C 18:10).
Today, let's remember that God's plan is all about us, and that he desires every single one of us to come home to him. Let's not feel small, except when it comes to motivating ourselves to follow God's plan more perfectly. :) We matter to him, and that means that we matter to each other and the whole universe... all of his creations. Let's pray and develop a relationship with God, so that we can always know that we are not alone, and that he "thinketh upon" us every day.
