                          Precious

My dear child, I love you and I have a very great care for you. No detail
of your life escapes My notice and you are constantly before My attention.  
My child, never feel passed by or ignored. Know that I care greatly about 
what happens to you.  Child, I love you greatly and you are of the utmost 
importance to Me. Nothing about you or your life escapes My notice.  

Have you not read in My word that the very hairs on your head are numbered?  
Do you have any idea how many times that count changes throughout the course 
of the day.  Each time you run a brush or a comb through your hair, the 
count changes -- and I keep track of it. Why do I do that? It is because
you are very precious to Me.

Your enemy the devil would try to tell you that you have no value and have
no worth. Don't believe him, for he is a liar and the truth is not in him.
If you were of no value to Me, would I have shed My dear Son's blood for
your sake? Child, you are much more precious to Me than you can imagine.

Do not allow yourself to become deceived by the thought patterns of man;
do not believe that your value comes from what you accomplish for Me. 
That is not the case at all.  I value you even on the days when you don't 
do a single thing for My kingdom, and I value you on the days when you get 
so busy that you forget to pray or worship or read My word. I think about 
you even on the days when you don't think about Me. The reason that I do 
that is because you are more precous to Me than you can imagine.  

Child, I do not value you because of the kingdom work that you do for Me. 
It is the other way around. The reason that I allow you to work with Me 
and to participate with Me in what I am doing is because I love you so 
much. I want to include you, I don't want to leave you out of the things 
that are important to Me.

Child, My love is not a passive love that watches from a distance.  I am
constantly intervening in your life.  I am your protection and your covering.
No matter what difficulties you face, know that there are many other 
hardships which I have shielded you from. Why? becasue I love you so dearly
and I will never allow you to be overwhelmed by more than you can bear.  And
in those difficult times, I will hold you in My arms and comfort you. I will
strengthen you.

Know that I am active on your behalf for your good.  I work in all things 
concerning you to bring My goodness and My glory into them. I fill you with 
My Spirit and I make My peace and My joy and My provision available to you. 
I permit you to come into My very presence. Child, I love to spend time 
with you. It delights Me to show you more of Myself and reveal more of My 
goodness and more of My love and more of My glory to you. I long to flood 
your senses with My nearness and I love to draw you close and hold you. 
Child, you are indeed precious to Me and I love your dearly.

So come now, precious one, and allow the reality of My love to settle over
you.  Draw near to Me and allow Me to shower you in My goodness. Allow Me to
plant more of My hope and peace and joy deep within your heart. I want your
joy to be complete becuase you are indeed precious to Me and I love you
dearly.

Yes child, you are precious to Me and you are of great value and great 
worth.
