Bottom Line

Who I am matters to God.

Most of us have probably daydreamed about being famous at one point or another—or we’ve at least wondered what it would be like. Maybe you’ve dreamed of being a famous athlete, or singer, or actor, or businessperson. Or maybe you just really want to be popular and well-liked at your workplace or in your community.
