Materials
Develop a list of 15-20 items that teens carry in their wallets, purses, or on themselves.

Activity
1. Divide into groups of 4-5 students.
2. Tell the groups that you are going to ask for an object and the first group to run up to you with the object will receive the point.
3. The object of course is to receive the most points.

Application
After the game, tell the group that today's lesson is like the game. Seemingly insignificant items became valuable as we tried to win. So it is with us. We may view ourselves as nothing too special, yet God says he can and will do amazing works through people who may seem insignificant by the world's standards, yet who are faithful to him. God wants use you to demonstrate his love to others. Conclude by saying that just as they used small insignificant items, God wants to use the small things in our life to show others his love.

Some possible items for your list are:
black comb, facial tissue, a cross, five dollar bill, Bible, a book mark, white shoe string, 1 cent coin, an identity card or driver's license, brown belt, safety pin, a ring, watch with a second hand, toothbrush, a friend's phone#, pen, fingernail file, a pencil, picture of dad, friendship bracelet, blank paper, student ID, a blonde hair, credit card, a cosmetic mirror, house key, glasses, foreign currency, lipstick, note from a friend
