In Christ I am: VALUED
\n<\/u><\/em>\u201cLook at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?\u00a0 Matthew 6:26 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Believers, once again we see how much our Father in heaven loves and treasures us.\u00a0 This verse tells us that even though He loves all His creation and cares for it, He values those who have accepted His Son more.\u00a0 Those who believed and received His Son, are beloved of the Father. They are dear to His heart, cherished, special, highly regarded.\u00a0 They need not worry or fear anything for the Father holds them in His hands.\u00a0 He gives them all things they need.\u00a0 He tells them over and over what their worth is and that He has special plans and purposes for them.<\/p>\n

Believers, we are so valued and treasured by our Father in heaven, we need not ever worry or fear.\u00a0 Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6 that someday we will judge the world and the angels, so that is something we should consider, for it is something that means we must be highly regarded by God.<\/p>\n

Fellow Believers, let\u2019s live today as God sees us—as treasured, valued people in Christ.<\/p>\n
