a word for someone

Psalm 23:4a Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me.

vs 6a Surely Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life


1 John 3:1 See how very much our Father loves us,

     for He calls us His children,

and that is what we are!

But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know Him.

2 Dear friends, we are already God's children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears.

But we do know that we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is.

3 And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as He is pure.



The verses from Psalm 23 are for me. God mostly just whispers to not be afraid & that He is still with me - & that truth is enough for right now.


The 1 John 3 verses are for someone else. Maybe you need to know that you are considered a precious & delighted-in child of the God of the universes, even though you don't feel like it. You are loved & cherished by Him - something you've never felt anywhere else.

And one day, you'll see Jesus, face to face, & be like Him, & not need to be ashamed - for Jesus life & death have made it possible for you to appear pure & holy before God.

Walk in your sonship, or daughtership - you can be sure of it. You're safe in it. Trust it. You are a loved & delighted in child of the God of the universes.
