This is Max Lakato. What matters to you matters to God. You probably think that's true when it comes to the big stuff like death and disease, sin and disaster. But what about the smaller things? What about grouchy bosses or flat tires? What about broken dishes or late flights or toothaches or a crashed hard drive. Do these matter to God? Let me tell you who you are. In fact, let me proclaim who you are. The Bible says you are an heir of God and co-air with Christ. You have a crown that will last forever. You are chosen before the creation of the world, but more than anything

else is the simple fact, you are God's child. 1 John 3-4 says, we are called children of God,

and we really are his children. I love that. We really are his children. So if something is important

to you, it's important to God. This is Max

Lakato.
