YOU are...

YOU are PRECIOUS. 

YOU are IMPORTANT. 

YOU are FORGIVEN (Seriously- no matter what you've done). 

YOU are REDEEMED. 

YOU are VALUABLE. 

YOU are LOVED (greatly).

Isaiah 43:2-4, The Message says....

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end- Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you....That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you."

In case you need a reminder this morning.....

"If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. 

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. 

He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning... 

Face it, friend. He is crazy about you!...

You weren't an accident. You weren't mass produced. 

You aren't an assembly-line product. 

You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, 

and lovingly positioned on the earth by the Master Craftsman!"
