His People

Blessed is Egypt My people. Isaiah 19:25

God does not see us as we often see ourselves. To Him we are precious. Isaiah says we are His people. Ever wanted to be part of a special group, join an elite club, or be the member of a certain family? Sometimes those cravings are due to feelings of insignificance in our own lives. We somehow think if we could just be part of a certain group it would somehow give us importance. But if we take an honest look we will see that even in the best of settings people still walk empty.

Significance must be a heart thing. It comes from knowing Jesus intimately and allowing Him to show us our worth and value. Outward sources are like garments we wear. They do nothing for our internal world. Blood transfusions and organ transplants are another story all together. God wants to transform us daily. He wants us to know that as His child we are all equally loved, cared for, and delighted in by a loving Heavenly Father.

With Him, we finally belong. We are the apple of His eye and able to bring Him pleasure.
Until we learn the truth about God and His genuine love for us we walk as unwanted orphans. We cannot afford to wait for people to come along and infuse us with this truth. God waits with anticipation for us to turn our faces and our hearts toward Him. He longs to give us what we actually crave.

Father, Your willingness to give so much astounds me. I want to receive all You have to give. Show me where my hands are still closed and clenched. Amen.
