Made for Intimacy

"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
Matthew 10:30

When I was spending time with my Father today, I was awestruck by how valuable I, you - every person - is to Him! Jesus says in Matthew 10:30: "EVEN THE VERY HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED" ... this is God going to the extreme example of letting us know that He is so involved, our value to Him so inestimable, and that He desires to be so intimate with us that He even knows this detail, which to the human mind may seem impossible. Do you think that anyone who begins to grasp this facet of His amazing love would commit, or even contemplate suicide? Have self esteem issues? Be depressed? This gives me new and supercharged meaning to the scripture; "WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVES US" Rom 8:37
The Lord sees us as we can be, and if we seek after Him, run to Him, meet His embrace, climb into His lap, and seek His Face continually, and conform to His likeness- how we will be.
Ephesians 4:8b reads "...and He gave gifts to His people.."
Today let this word be a gift from the Lord to you.
