The New Testament tells us in many occasions how important a single soul is to Jesus/God our Father. Christ points this out over and over. I write this because of its relevance to us today. The Word of God never changes in its meaning and purpose. These truths of our importance to Jesus are as real today as they were when He walked this earth.

One of Satan’s great strategies is to devalue us in our minds so we don’t think Christ even sees us, let alone cares for anything and all things we are going through. If we believe this bondage, we have a difficult time with the Freedom Christ can give and does give.

As I was reading my 90-day devotional this morning, the message was exactly what I’m writing about–Christ’s focus on each and every one of us and how deeply He cares for each and every one of us. What got to me was my ability to believe this is true for me! I didn’t have any doubts as I was reading it. Instead, I had this huge sense of gratitude!

I lived so long wishing Christ would love me. I had all of these things I wanted Him to do to show me He loved me. When I finally removed my blinders and saw what Christ had already done for me and accepted His Love the way He was giving it, I found the Freedom He offers–Peace that passes all understanding! I wanted my past removed–Christ wanted it used. Who would ever think such darkness would be used to reflect brilliant Light!
