When I was a little girl, I love to hand-made cards for my parents.

I always like to tell them how much I love them and show my affection with these handmade cards.

And I used to put my signature butterflies and flowers all over them.

You know, I did the same kind of butterfly and the same kind of flower every time.

Not long ago, I was going through a stack of scrapbooks that my mother had so, you know,

carefully saved and put together. When I came across one of these signature cards that I had made,

and there it was, my butterflies and flowers. As I was looking at it,

I noticed at the bottom of the page written in yellow pencil were these words. I feel like we are

somebody important, and I know that we are. When my eyes dropped to those words, I thought, what in the

world was I thinking as a little girl? I feel like we're someone important and I know that we are.

What was I thinking? Why can't I feel like that now? You see, I feel like I am something important,

and I know that I am. It really, it made me laugh. It made me chuckle. But you know what? I couldn't

let those words slide by. They kept going through my mind the next day and the next

day because I thought, what was I thinking? And then it was if I realized inside of every single one of us

is the voice of God saying, you are made in my image.

You are valuable, you are significant, and you are important in this life.

You see, inside of every one of us, there is a voice that is speaking out, value, significance, and importance.

But sometimes life tries to change and drowned out that voice.

It tries to devalue us.
