“But the very hairs of your head are all numbered” Matthew 10:30

God knows everything about you, yes “you”. He even counted every string of hair on your head. Isn’t that amazing? I promise you that He knew you before you were born. “My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth” Psalm 139:15. I guarantee you on the authority of the Word of God, that He loves you. This is amazing to me especially because I am almost invisible in my family (being 1 of 9), let alone in my community and the planet. It is hard for me to comprehend of any reason why the Lord of lords, the magnificent King of kings would be and/or should be interested in me and yet our Lord looks down and He sees me and you. He sees millions of us and cherished us one by one. He keeps tabs on us individually. He watches out and provides for each one of us as though each individual was the only child.
Think about it for a moment: The great God that creates and runs the universe is concerned about “you”. Most people imagine that in God’s eyes we are just one of millions. We know most people don’t think we are important and so we assume God thinks of us in a similar way. But then, again, God is not like most people. To Him, each one us is special and worth sending His son to die for. To be honest everyone wants to be loved and accepted. There is nothing mankind wouldn’t do to find love and yet God loves us with his whole heart. He loves “you” with every speck of his enormous love. That means no matter how much he loves others, he couldn’t possibly love anyone else more than he loves you and no matter how much your spouse or/and your children love you, their love can never compared to the love of God.
Mankind type of love is limited and conditional. Most of us don’t know how to love but “God is love.” (1 John 4:8).People love base on their criteria but to God no Christian is too old, too poor, too uneducated, too stupid and too annoying to be loved. It doesn’t matter who your parents were or what family you came from because when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you automatically become an accepted (worthy of love) member of the elite family of the most prominent God. For just one aspect of this, see and just like any good father, He has plan for your life, great plans but unlike your earthly father, He’s got the means, the power and the will to bring the plans to fulfillment. Now what is you’d like to accomplish on this earth? Are you in the midst of great troubles? What are your most pressing needs? Bring them all to the Lord in prayers. There is nothing you loving father cannot do? If He could bring a dead person back to life, he can surely take care of you.
Have you been looking for the love that surpasses all intelligence? Has your search led you a destructive path? Then look no further than the loving arms of God. No matter what you have done, I assure you, He loves you. (Romans 5:8).Once under His command, He will bring the right people into your life. He will turn your sorrows into joy. He will repair you damage relationships. He will restore your peace. He knows you and yet he loves you anyway. He doesn't love you because you are so lovable or because of some misguided notion of love; He loves you because He is love. He created you to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us John 3:16) to restore that relationship. He loves you. You are precious in His eyes. He will never abandon you. You can count on His unconditional love.
God's love towards us, His estranged creation, is graphically depicted in the sacrifice He made on our behalf. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
Will you share His message of love with at least one person today? I trust that you will.
Praise the Lord!
