Yes, everyone is an important part of God's perfect plan. God gave 10 commandments, man turned those 10 into 612 or so, Jesus reduced the number to 2 to clear things up so that everyone would be on the same page ha ha...
1. Love God with all your heart all your mind and all your soul.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
...my 9 year old daughter came home from Catholic school a few months ago reciting the 10 commandments, I tell her that's great but Jesus cut those down to 2, she smiled and said really what are they. I told her, she thought about it, her smile went away and said that's not fair, she said if I love god with all my heart then there's nothing left for anyone else. I say only when you love god with all your heart can you love your neighbor as yourself realizing you both play an important part in god's perfect plan. I've more work to do with her ha ha, probably with you too, so don't give up on me yet!
