You are as valuable to God as Jesus

Did you know that you are jewel of inestimable value? The apple of God's eye? The one for whom God paid a price with life and blood of His Son. Yes, don't look so surprised, you are more special to God than you could ever think. God loved you so much that He gave His only son to die in your place and reconcile you to Himself.
The bible declares this in multiple places to us

1 Peter 1:18 says in the Message Translation

...our life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
Eph 3:19 says

And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.
Pastor Anita declares today in Rhapsody of Realities that every sane individual will always pay the price on the price tag when buying an item, no more no less. In the same way, God paid the right price for you and redeemed you to himself. He LOVES YOU AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS. Always remember that and walk as a King in this life because that is who you are in Christ Jesus.

Say this prayer today
Dear Father, thank you for showing me my true value. I'm greatly honoured and priviledged to know that i'm as valuable to you as Jesus is. THank you for loving me with such great and everlasting love. I'll forever be conscious of your love for me, and i pray hat you'll daily help me understand the breadth,length,deph and height of your love for me in Jesus' Name. Amen
