"THERE YOU ARE!"

(ISAIAH 43:4 [VOICE])

"Because you are special to Me and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance."

God can see us even through all the years of hurt and suffering we go through as part of life's experiences. Each Christian goes through some sort of pain and suffering in his/her lifetime. Nevertheless, God says we are special to Him and He loves us - Isaiah 43:4. Honestly, we must be extremely special to Him because He gave us His only Son as a sacrifice for our sin. How much more can He love us than through that selfless sacrifice? John 3:16 tells us that "For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life." There is no greater love that the love God has for us. Therefore, in times when we feel lost, unloved, or as if we have nobody that wants us; we can rest assured that God loves us and He loves us unconditionally. We simply have to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ and follow His teachings. We may oftentimes believe we are lost or misplaced in this life; however, in those times God stretches out His hands and looks at us saying "There You Are!”
