Isaiah 43:1-2

“…Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.” Isaiah 43:1-2

This was a Word that the Lord wanted me to share with you all this morning. He just wants each of you to remember how precious you are to Him. You are so precious and loved that He ransomed you by paying a price, with the life of His son Jesus, instead of leaving you captive to your old nature, and your old ways, instead of letting you stay captive to sickness, disease, poverty, and lack, instead of letting you stay captive to your thoughts, and your flesh. He payed the price for you to be free!

He also called you by your name, and calls you His own. You each are God’s beautiful creations especially designed for a unique gift and a unique purpose. It is only a wonderfully magnificent and creative God that could create so many people, and still gift them each in a unique and wonderful way. Isn’t that awesome!

And not only has He paid the price for you, and called you His, but He promises in the Scripture that in everything you go through He will be beside you, and that you will always come out on the other side of whatever it is, and not only will you come out on the other side, but when you come out you will not be damaged.

What a loving God we serve, that He has done all of that for us. Just remember that each of you are worth all of that love, and all that He has given, nothing you have done or may do will ever change that, the only thing that could change any of it, is if you choose not to receive what He so graciously, and lovingly has given you. God bless!
