"SPECIAL" or "IMPORTANT"?

What is/are the things that is special in your life? Or, Who is/are the people that is special in your life? Often times, we are always refering that some things or people is special in our life. This might be our personal possessions that has a value or a people that we care for. But, are they really important in our life?

So, what make things special? As i try to answer this question, i ask people about there insights & ideas about the said questions and this is there answer..
A thing/person is special if:
1. You spent majority of your time with it/her/his.
2. You can't stop caring/thinking for a thing/person.
3. You always want it to be by your side.
4. It gives hapiness whenever he/she is with you or a thing is always with you.
5. Its has a unique characteristic that others doesn't have.
6. There is none like a thing or person in this world..

With this answer that i got, i just wonder and asked myself, what matters most, to become special or become important?

When i was still in college, one of my schoolmate asked me this question. I told her that for me, its better to be important rather than to be special. You know why i choose to become important? Its because being important doesn't depend on a uniqueness of a thing/person but it's based on necessity or being essential. Being essential or necessary means that without a thing/person, it can't be completed.

Based on the assumptions and meaning of being "special" and "important", choose between the two and answer this question: Does having Christ in your life "special" or "important"?

Matthew 6:21 says, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". As what the Lord said, things that we treasured in our life is where our heart is and it signify that whatever we treasure in our life is those "important" things. May the Lord Jesus be a "important" part of our life and not just "special" because the reason that we live is all for a sole purpose, giving glory to God.

Dont make Christ just a "special" part of our life just because He can save and forgive us from our sin but consider that the Lord is a "important" because without God, we can't do nothing (Philipians 4:13). We are created by God "special" among others but we are "important" to God for He gave His only son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to suffer and endure all the pains just to let us free (John 3:16). If God makes us "important", it is better that we respond to God making HIM very important in our life.
