Every life matters to God

1 Peter 1:18-19, “For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.” (NLT)

Thank you Lord for saving me and showing me each day that my life matters. Remind me to share this same level of love to those around me
