No matter what takes place in our lives, we can be sure we belong to God. We can be sure that He loves us. We can be sure we are important and worthy because God created us. We can be sure that we are capable and competent because God continues to teach us, to equip us and enable us to become all He wants us to be.

When people are sure of God's love, they have hope, a sense of belonging, a sense of competence and a sense of worth.
