Reflecting on My nature I made man and woman. It was good. So very good. I know you inside and out and I hold you together. Every detail of your body and soul—even the hairs of your head!—is in my care, nothing of you will be lost. My love won’t walk away from you, my covenant of peace won’t fall apart. I’ll give you a bouquet of roses. I’ll turn Heartbreak Valley into Acres of Hope. It makes no difference who you are or where you come from—If you want Me and are ready to do as I say, the door is open! I call nobodies and make them somebodies, I call the unloved and make them beloved. In the place where they yelled out, “You’re nobody!” they’ll call you “God’s living child!” I don’t COUNT you, I call you by NAME. I had you in mind before I laid down the foundations of the earth. What pleasure I took in planning this! I don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look…[I] look inside, and see that if you love Jesus, you get a fresh start and are created new. My strong hand is on you; I’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before Me, I am most careful with you. Happy to have you back, I’ll calm you with My love and delight you with My songs.
God Almighty
