CHANGE - 2

Psalm 139: 17, 18

How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O GOD! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with Thee.

CHANGE YOUR THINKING/ATTITUDE

Whenever we walk "through the valley of the shadow..." we are tempted to think about ourselves as unworthy, and unloved. The truth, is that GOD loves us so much that He thinks about us day and night. If we would count the thoughts of GOD for us, they would be more than the sand by the sea shore. We are precious in His sight; He loves us.

Pastor said something on Sunday that really stuck with me. He said that GOD has a tattoo; we are imprinted on the palm of His Hand (Isaiah 49:16). The Scripture reads, Behold, I have engraved thee upon the palms of My Hands; thy walls are continually before Me." There is no time when the LORD GOD is not watching and wanting to bless us. We are made in the image and likeness of GOD; His handiwork. GOD is present NOW and will never leave us. The consequences of looking back or looking to far forward in vain imaginations, is that we loose connection with GOD. He is present NOW, so acknowledge Him, thank Him and know that He is eager to bless His precious child.

A very dear friend of mine, when she was 98 years old, said this, "If you are not as old as GOD, you are His little child." Remember that when you feel that you are too old to be adored. GOD adores His little children; "all the children of the world; red and yellow black and white, they are precious in His sight, for He loves the little children of the world." He wears us engraved on the palms of His Hands.
