Do you know that God loves you? Like, really really loves you? Do you know He thinks highly of you?
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; rmale and female he created them.
Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Psalm 139:13-14 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Matthew 10:30 (NIV) 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Psalm 8:5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
1 John 3:1-2 New International Version (NIV)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
No matter what emotions you may be feeling today, or how you think others feel about you, I want to remind you that you are loved.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for taking such care to make us, even from the beginning of time. Your word said everything was created, except men and women. You took the time to form us, you saw our needs from the beginning of time, and then you pronounced us ‘very good’. Father, help us to always remember just how you think of us, and remind us that is all that matters.
