People Matter to God

And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person's life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die. - Genesis 9:5

Today's verse is extremely intense. It talks about if an animal or person kills another person that they must die. And while that may seem really intense, it's also really powerful as it shows just how much God loves people.

People are so incredibly important to God. The Bible shows us over and over again, the depth of God's love for his people. He loves them deeply and if we are followers of Him we are called to show others that same love and respect that he showed us. Regardless of who they are. 

TODAY'S TRUTH: PEOPLE ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD

It can be easy to look at someone who looks or act differently than you and think they're not important or you're better than them. The truth is friends, regardless of how people look or act, they're important to God.  That means that we should be treating others with love and respect. Not because we always agree with them or even like them, but because they're important to God. 

So today, if you've been guilty of treating someone unfairly, make any adjustments in your heart that you need to make. Realize that regardless of how people look or act, they were made by our creator God, and just like you they have extreme value to God. Because of that, we should love them and treat them with respect.
