"I'm Loved By God!"

You are precious and honoured in My sight, and...I love you.
Isaiah 43:4

One of the most beautiful passages in Scripture is found in Isaiah,Chapter 43: "You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned...For I am the Lord, your God...you are precious and honoured in My sight, and...Ilove you" ( Isaiah 43:1-4 ).
Write down that last phrase on a card and carry it with you: "You are precious and honoured in My sight...I love you.
" Wow! You are loved by God. Who else do you need to impress? What other ladder do you need to climb? What are you going to add to your resume that'll top that? Make your life an experiment of living in the love of God. Every morning when you wake up let your first words be "I'm loved by God."
And every night when you go to sleep let your last words echo, "I'm loved by God."
Write those words down on a card and carry them with you. When you're tempted to despair because you've blown it, take out the card and look at it. When you're overwhelmed by all you have to do, read it over and over to yourself. Take it out when you'retempted to sin, to dishonour God, to lash out in anger and hurt someone,or deceive someone, or use someone. When you're afraid, when you're anxious, when you're alone, remember and feast on the words that give life: "I'm loved by God."
