Precious

“My sheep listen to My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.  I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand. For My Father, has given them to Me and He is more powerful than anyone else.  No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.”   

                                                                                                                                   John 10:27-29

“Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wing.”   John 17:18

“For you are a holy people, who belong to the LORD your God.  Of all the people on earth the LORD your God has chosen you to be His own special treasure.”   Deut. 7:6

I love you.  You are very valuable to Me.  Very precious to Me.  You are the apple of My eye; My treasured possession.  I will not let you go.  We are connected now by covenant, by blood.  You belong to Me; you are My own.  Revel in your daughtership.  You are safely nestled in the palm of My hand—My Father has given you to Me.  He is the ultimate power beyond even the universe—atomic power is within Him—and no one can take anything away from Him.  You are secure; your future is secure.  My love will never run out. Even beyond time it will keep coming like the waves of the ocean, covering you enveloping you in warmth and safety.  You will never be out of my hand.  You will never be out from under My protective gaze. 

“Do not be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God.  Peace!  Be encouraged!  Be strong!”
