There’s A Picture of You in God’s Wallet
Do you know that God has a picture of you in His wallet?
Well, He would if He had a wallet.
You see, God loves you so much that if He carried a wallet, He would have your picture there. He would take it out whenever He met someone and brag on you.
You are on His mind every moment…of every day…of every week…of every year of your life.
The Bible says that you are “the apple of His eye.” (Deut 32:10; Zech 2:8)
Following are highlights from Psalm 139. I would encourage you to read this passage yourself sometime today. (These verses are paraphrased from the New Living Translation.)
God formed you in your mother’s womb. (v. 13)
He has examined your heart and knows everything about you…everything…down to the most minute detail. (v. 1) Matt 10:30 tells us, “…the very hairs of [your] head are all numbered.” (KJV)
He knows every thought you think…before you think it. (v. 2)
He knows everything you’re going to say…before you even say it! (v. 4) And He still loves you!
God goes before you and He follows behind you. (v. 5) He knows when you sit down and when you stand up. (v. 2) God charts your path, tells you when you need to stop and rest, and knows precisely where you are at every moment of the journey. (v. 3)
He records every day of your life in His book. (v. 16)
God’s thoughts about you are innumerable! (v. 17)
There are so many verses describing how much God loves you, but God’s love for you can be summed up in this one verse:
…God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 5:8 (KJV)
Before you ever even thought about God, He thought about you and loved you.
And when you accept Christ as your Savior, the Bible says that God adopts you as His child.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Rom 8:15-17 (KJV)
I encourage you to stop for just a few moments today and think about God’s love for you.
