“And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, ‘For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed’ ” (Genesis 4:25).

Even the name of Seth reminds us of Abel. It would give the feeling that he was born, not of the fruit of the love between Adam and Eve, but because Abel died, someone had to take his place.

Seth is a biblical character who makes me think about children who think they do not matter to anyone. Do you know what I am talking about? Do you know someone like that? Are you one of these people? I assure you that the situation is not as complicated as you may believe it to be.

First and foremost, God loves you, He knows you, and is deeply concerned about you, so much so that if you had been the only sinful person in the history of humanity, He would have sent His Son just to save you. Forget about your fears of “invisibility”: God keeps you very much in mind; He sees you at all times, in all places, and in all circumstances.

He keeps you so much in mind that He has engraved your name in the palms of His hands; He know how many hairs you have on your head and what your deepest dreams are that you have in your soul.

In a more human sphere, I can assure you that there are people to whom you are important. Moreover, there are people who are influenced by you (for good or for bad).

Seth is not the only person who fills an empty space. For God, this biblical character is a very important figure since the human genealogy of Christ could be developed thanks to him. Seth is the beginning again that God used for His plan of salvation to continue on its course.

When it seems that there is no option, that the future is black and absolutely difficult, God raises a little (or a big) Seth to tell the whole world that there is a new possibility. Seth is the window God opens for the human being when sin wants to close all the doors. Seth is the clearest demonstration that God does not give up on saving His children.

Like Seth, God needs you so that His plan can be carried out in this world. Allow Him to show it to you today and guide you along the best paths.
