Because We Are Worth More Than The Sparrows

When I was in high school, my sister and I joined a school play called Joseph the Dreamer. We were young, full of energy, and super excited. We didn’t just practice in school. We practiced everywhere. In the kitchen. In the living room. Even while doing chores. We memorized every line, every song. It became a part of us.

But there was one line that stayed with me, long after the lights on stage went out. A simple line, but it felt like a message straight from God.

“See the birds in the air. They don’t plant or harvest, but God feeds them. And we? We are the children of God. We are worth more than the sparrows.”

That line hits different when you're older.

Back then, it was just part of the play. But now, I see how true it really is.

Life is not always easy. There are times when I worry. Times I feel tired. Times I question if all this hard work is really worth it. Being far from home. Missing family. Working non-stop. Sacrificing so much.

But in those quiet moments, I remember that line, and I remember that God never forgets us.
Just like the birds in the air who don’t even try to earn their food, yet God still makes sure they’re fed… how much more will He take care of us, His children?

Sometimes we don’t see the answers right away. Sometimes life feels unfair. But just because we can’t see it yet, doesn’t mean God isn’t working behind the scenes.

So don’t give up.
Do your best, even when no one sees.
Keep praying, even when it feels quiet.
Keep trusting, even when the road is hard.

Because God provides.

Not always when we want,
But always when we need it most.
One day, everything will fall into place.
Not by luck.

But by His perfect timing.

Just like what that school play taught me years ago... we are worth more than sparrows.
