You are so Valuable to God

You are extremely valuable in God's eyes.

God is constantly interested in you. He thinks about you every minute.

God created humanity, but to God you are not just a mere specimen of humanity. God loves every human being like a good mother loves her own child.

That is why God suffers with deep heartache when we distance ourselves from His love, when we want to live as if He did not exist.

Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 Jn 4:8 NRSV

God created Adam and Eve and they were totally good in the beginning. God made them without fault.

So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Gen 1:27 NRSV

God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Gen 1:31 NRSV

We know our ancestors went wrong because the Bible tells us the sad story, but if we want confirmation, we need only look at the horrible state of the world.

You and I need only consider the inadequacy of our own lives and we know that we have all gone wrong.

If we are not merciful and faithful, God still loves us totally because He cannot help but be faithful and merciful.

Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 Jn 4:8 NRSV

• God loves you because He created you and He created you because He loved you.

• God saw you and loved you before the creation of the world.

• God loved you when you were conceived.  

For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Ps 139:13 NRSV

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Ps 139:15 NRSV

He loved you in the womb.

He loved you when you were born and he never stopped loving you.
But maybe you were conceived in a car. Maybe you began as an unwanted pregnancy, but God wanted you and he still wants you.

That makes no difference to God's love. He does not blame you for your parents’ mistakes.

Were you then abused as a child? God is just. What was done to you does not affect his love for you in the slightest.

You are not responsible for your parents’ mistakes but you are responsible to God for your own life. We have all gone wrong and we need God’s forgiveness, but God loves you and He wants to forgive you for everything. He is waiting to hear the cry of your heart.
