God’s treasure is where His heart is. How do I know this? Because God said so. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21. Jesus Christ is speaking of a spiritual principle that has existed since before creation.
Scripture reveals that He delights in us: The Lord your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will be quiet in his love. He will delight in you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
Just think, God not only rejoices over us; He sings because of his delight in us. The Creator of heaven and earth and all that is on the earth rejoices and sings over us! Not only that, but God, the Holy Spirit, is among us all the time.
There is nothing which says this happens because you are perfect and sinless. He loves us because we are His children. We remain His children, even amid our mistakes.
We are the apple of His eye. David said in Psalm 17:8, “Keep me as the apple of Your eye…” NKJV. The “apple of His eye” expresses his pride and fondness for us.

You Are Known by God

But if anyone loves God, he is known by him. 1 Corinthians 8:3
Do you realise now God knows you? He knows you personally. He knows what you like, dislike, what you like to do and even your favourite colour. God is not far away, but dwells in you if you are a true child of God. He knows every intimate detail of your life.
His greatest desire is to take you from where you are today and mould you into the person, He says you are in his Word. Not the best version of yourself or your best life now. What the Lord wants for you is so much greater than that.
God wants to lead you on to the path of being all that you can be for Him. He knows what challenges, trials, and tribulations you will face throughout your whole life. If allowed to, God will prepare you to face every one of those challenges and overcome them to the glory of God Himself.
He knows every mistake and awful choice you will ever make and can make allowances ahead of time to overcome them. God is not leading us down a primrose path. He is leading and guiding us to live as the image of Him.
Then, his light of love will shine through us for other people to see.
You can learn more about being known by God. Know you are big in God’s heart.

PRAYER POINTS – Confess this Daily:

1. I am God’s treasured possession. He chose me long right from the time of creation. I may be weak, but with God’s power, I am strong. I am empowered and equipped to do the good works God created for me to do. My purpose on earth is to cause others to glorify God.
2. Heavenly Father, as I strive to remain faithful during life’s storms, I pray for courage. Courage to face whatever comes my way, courage to stand firm in my faith when I would rather flee.
3. Remind me of the brave men and women of faith in the Bible, who remained faithful amidst trials, and inspire me to emulate their courage.
4. Grant me a heart like Daniel, who remained faithful even when threatened with the lion’s den. Or like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who didn’t bow to the king’s idol despite the fiery furnace’s threat.
5. Lord, it is in the fiery trials and the lion’s den of life that my faithfulness is tested. Help me to pass these tests with courageous faith with Holy Spirit dwelling in me.
6. Oh Lord, bless me with righteousness. Grow my faith as I exercise my faith in you daily. Teach me to love just as You so loved the world, that You gave your only begotten Son, that I may have everlasting life.
7. May your Holy Spirit guide me and fill me with your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. May I be a witness to your grace and truth, and may my life bring glory to your name. In Jesus Christ name – Amen.
