Have you ever given much thought to Psalm 144:3-4?
3 Lord, what is man that You take notice of him? Or [the] son of man that You take account of him? 4 Man is like vanity and a breath; his days are as a shadow that passes away.
Have you ever felt small and insignificant in this world? Well, I have great good news for you! You are FAR from insignificant! "Notice" above is the Hebrew word "yada", which means: to know; to perceive; to recognize; to be acquainted with. "Take account of" is the Hebrew word "chasab", which means: to esteem; to value. What IS man, that our God knows and values us? For a glimpse of why, look at Jeremiah 1:5:
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations." NKJV
"Knew" here is the same Hebrew word "yada"! Now WE have not been called, as Jeremiah was, as a prophet to the nations, but God DID "know" us BEFORE He formed us in the womb! Do you see what I see? He forms the body of every person in the womb, BUT, He KNOWS us BEFORE He forms the body! How can that be? Because, first of all, we are spirits, who have souls (mind, emotions and a will), and who live in physical bodies while we are on the earth! We are NOT bodies, we are spirits! To be exact, we are "speaking spirits"! God gave each of us a free will to choose Him or not! We make all of our choices by SAYING! (See Romans 10:9-10, Matthew 6:31, and John 15:7 AMP). YOU Are precious and valuable to the One True God and don't ever let the enemy cause you to forget that! Make a determined purpose and a consistent effort to speak only what the Word of God says about you! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Bones":
Shalom in Him!
