As one who is born of God, you are special and priceless to Him. The Father’s love for you and I began with the sending of His Son to die for us. It did not end but rather began. The Father demonstrated this great love toward us in that while we were still in sin, Christ died for us. Be convinced and rest assured that God still loves you with an everlasting love and therefore He continues to draw you nearer to Him day by day with His lovingkindness (mercy). Beloved, Jesus is our Shepherd and He has given us the very life of God which is eternal and we will never perish, neither will any man (or devil) be able to snatch us from Him. We are dead and our lives are hidden in Christ in God. You must therefore not allow anything or anybody to cause you to be afraid. The Word of God is true, it is God’s integrity and it is forever trustworthy. Child of God, believe the Word and appropriate it to every area of your life.
