You cannot not deny…this photo is PRECIOUS!
I snagged this picture while keeping my great nephews, and I just can’t get enough of the cuteness of that precious child sitting on the edge of the pool in his nakedness.
Well, Wayne isn’t the only precious thing…YOU ARE. God says that you are precious.
Precious
Since you are cherished and precious in my eyes, and because I love you dearly and want to honor you, I willingly give up nations in exchange for you— a man to save your life. Isaiah 43:4 TPT
God was talking to his special people, the Israelites, during this time, but praise the Lord, because of Jesus Christ, and our trust in Him, we are also called precious, cherished, and dearly loved.
I drew a picture of you on my hand. You are always before my eyes. Isaiah 49:16 ERV
When you have something in your hand, you often look at it. You’re reminded of either something to do with it, or where to place it, or even how valuable it may be.
The Lord does this with you. It’s like a permanent tattoo of you in His hand. He not often, but constantly, is looking at you. He doesn’t need reminding, yet knows what to do with and for you, where to place you, and knows your worth.Trust Him to do what He needs to do for and in your life.
“Don’t be afraid,” He said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, “Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me.” Daniel 10:19 NLT
In my bible I have three hearts, a star, and words circled and underlined pertaining to this verse.
We are told in the bible 365 times to not be afraid because He is with us. That’s one for each day of the year. God will protect His precious children and bring them peace, strength, and encouragement. Trust in Him, oh precious child.
Blessings to you and yours,
