                      You Are Pecious To Me

I Am the Holy One of Israel.  Be still and know that I Am He. There is none 
other. There is nothing that I have not accomplished.  There are all things 
that are to be. I spoke and it was. I breathe and it is. I alone created 
the heavens and the earth -- all that you see and smell and touch. Have I 
not ordained it before you were? Have I not beheld you before you ever knew 
you? 

Who are you, My child, that you would create that which has not existed? 
Have I not chosen you? Among the greatest kings that ever existed, have I 
not chosen you? Are you not more than a grain of wheat? Are you not created 
finer than gold? Have I not spoken and told you when I walked the earth, 
that you were a precious pearl that I was willing to sell everything that I 
have to give you?  

I sold My very life; I gave everything that I was and am.  I came and laid 
down My life, My kingdom, My blood, that you could prosper and be in good 
health. I was beaten for your transgressions and bruised for your 
iniquities.  I did not do that because I thought you were worthless and 
needed help. I did it because you were a rare pearl that I desired far 
above My glory.  And in that sacrifice, I alone was glorified, but you, 
My child, were saved. 

My kingdom was laid at your feet. You received houses you did not build, 
wells you did not dig. You are more to Me than a grain of wheat. You are 
more to Me than you can realize. I have loved you with an everlasting 
love and I have called you to be Mine. No weapon formed against you will 
ever prosper as long as I have breath that gives life to the dead. I Am 
that I Am. I Am the breath of a thousand breezes. Be still and know that 
I Am Your Saviour. The Holy One of Israel calls you "My chosen." Be one 
with Me.
