The world measures success by profile or power but these are not the standards that Jesus uses. He called Thaddaeus to be one of his 12 disciples. This is not a name we often hear of and very little of his life and ministry is recorded. And yet he was one of the 12 who cast out demons, healed the sick and served his Lord, Jesus, completely. Every person is special in the eyes of God and he knows us each by name. Whether we serve as the CEO of a large company or the janitor of a school, God is interested in our life and we matter to him.
