Sit for a moment and close your eyes. Ponder the magnificence of God’s creation—the moon, the stars, the planets, and the earth—the wonderment of it all. What about God’s most precious creation—you! Before He created you into existence He already knew you (Psalm 139:15-16). He saw you as you were to be—your hair, your eyes, your good qualities, your faults, your joy, and your pain. He chose you before the foundation of the world and made a plan for you. A plan to prosper you and not to harm you; to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). He created you with such tender loving care. He knit you together with such patience. He took His time creating you into the beautiful creature you are, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Because He created you with such care, He never lets you out of His sight—for you are His.

My friend, never doubt for a moment who you are in God’s eyes. Let us praise Him with all our strength and might for His work is always perfect. Know in your heart that you are His magnificent obsession and creation.
