It just dawned on me this morning that although most of us grow up with the vague awareness that we all matter and that what matter's most is what's on the inside; very few of us actually sit and realize that in reality no one is better or worse than anyone else, just different. One of my favorite scriptures puts it this way, "One thing I have learned: God made people good, but they have found all kinds of ways to be bad."* So you see? In reality none of us are born "evil" and I hope most of us don't wake up conspiring ways to make other people's life miserable.
On the contrary, if God made people good on the inside and it's what is on the inside that matters most then we are all, by nature, good and therefore we all matter. No matter how much someone may irritate you or complicate your life the next time you feel your frustration starting to boil up just remember: we all matter. you are not better than them and they are not better than you because in the end no one is perfect...just different (:
*Ecclesiastes 7:29
