You are VALUABLE to GOD!!

I wrote yesterday concerning the care that God possesses for each of us. It is a blessing, honor and source of encouragement to realize and understand that God has a special place in His heart for me. I don't write these words in arrogance or pride but from a heart that is full of gratitude and thanksgiving that God is genuinely interested in me and my journey though life. A few words of an old song expresses my feelings this morning; "...His eyes are on the sparrow and I know He watches me..." I ask that you take a moment and allow the following words of Jesus to sink deep into your heart today.

 

Matthew 6:25-34, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?   ²⁶ Look at the birds.  They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? (Emphasis added) ²⁷ Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? ²⁸ “And why worry about your clothing?   Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, ²⁹ yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. ³⁰ And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? ³¹ “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ ³² These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. ³³ Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. ³⁴ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” (NLT)

 

AMEN!!!
