What God Really Thinks About You.

From Great by Design Bible Study

You are precious to God.

This is a word that must go straight to your heart. This is the time to apply His word. It will change your life.

A. Your Formation
Psalm 139:13-16

Not too many years ago you were conceived. From the point of conception, your growth into a child was carefully hand crafted by your Creator. As your vital organs began to grow and your limbs began to form, you were being watched very closely by your loving Father. Every second of every day, He found himself watching with excitement as you formed into the perfect child. He had begun to dream of your time together before the foundations of the earth and as each day passed, His dream of your being together was one day closer. The Creator found himself in love. He had loved you from the day He first thought of you. That day so many years ago. Then His dream of your birth became a reality and on that chosen day, a precious baby was born. The Creator had already chosen the color of your eyes and hair and had given you a very special name. A name by which He would call to you. A name that would cause Him to smile. He gave to you the very special name of Daughter or Son.

Psalm 139 states,
For He created your inmost being
He knit you together in your mother’s womb
Praise Him for you are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made
His works are wonderful - know that full well
Your frame was not hidden from Him when you were made in that secret place
When you were woven together in the depths of the earth
His eyes saw your unformed body
All the days ordained for you were written in His book before one of them came to be

Friends - you are no accident. If your parents didn’t plan you - God did! He couldn’t wait until you were born.

He sits on the edge of your bed waiting for you to wake every morning.
He hangs out with you in the kitchen while you cook your favorite meal.
He sits across your desk from you at work and admires all you do.
He holds you every night when you lay down to sleep.
He made you just the way your are. And He loves you with His whole heart.

B. His Great Treasure
Exodus 19:5, “Now therefore, if you indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”

Friends, because you have chosen to follow God, you are His child and you are so very precious to Him. It doesn’t matter how you feel, what you think, or what your circumstances are in life.
Remember you must combat how you feel with God’s Word. Your reality can not be how you feel or what you think- your reality must be based on the word of God. When God says you are a special treasure - the you ARE a special treasure.

You can not focus on what man has said to you. Man is a liar. God is truth.

You are special and you are precious to your Heavenly Father. There is none on earth quite like you. He molded and made you from day 1 and because you choose Him He gives you favor.

Acts 10:15 and Acts 11:9 states, "What God has cleansed you must not call common."
Friends, you are not common. You are not average. You are not middle of the line.
You are not ordinary. You are extraordinary.
You are not less than. You are more than.
You are the head. Not the tail.
You are above and not beneath. (Deuteronomy 28)
You do no have to settle. You get to soar.

The day I accepted this love from God I changed. The day you accept this love from God you too will change. Well, what are you waiting for?
