Good morning people who partner with the intention of God in people’s lives.

I know that I have talked about this before, but it is so important and close to the heart of the Father and Jesus’ earthly ministry that I must repeat it:

The one person always matters.

Multitudes are simply made up of lots of individual people, and every one of them is significant and deeply loved by God. There are no exceptions.

Blind Bartimaeus was important to Jesus. The Samaritan woman at the well was important to Jesus. The woman caught in adultery was important to Jesus. Nicodemus was important to Jesus. The woman with the issue of blood was important to Jesus. Zacchaeus was important to Jesus. Each little child was important to Jesus.

Why?

Because every single person matters to God.

And yet we see a commonly themed response by Jesus’ disciples.

Matthew 19:13 MEV Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.

John 4:27 MEV Then His disciples came. They marveled that He talked with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”

Mark 10:46-48 MEV Then they came to Jericho. And as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat along the way begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many ordered him to keep silent. But he cried out even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Let’s not get in the way of what God is doing in people’s lives, but rather, may we always partner with Father’s intention by seeing every person as significant to God. May we truly learn to love like Jesus.
