We Are Precious in His Sight

by Darla Noble

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you.

Isaiah 43:4

When I read today’s verse, I can’t help but sing the children’s praise song, “Jesus Loves the Little Children”

“Jesus loves the little children; all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.”

He loves you because you are created by Him and in His image. He loves you because you are part of Him. Your breath is His breath. Your heartbeat is His heartbeat. But your thoughts and your life are yours to live as you choose. What choice will you make? Will you choose to live a life that honors the One who made you?

Will you live out your life’s purpose by bringing glory to God?

Prayer: Father in heaven, thank You for making me serve You. Thank You for delighting in me. Thank You for loving me. Let my heart be filled with praise and thanksgiving for who You are. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
