Valuable

You are valuable to Me, saith the Lord,
the same way that a newborn child is valued and cherished by a loving parent.
You have done nothing to earn this affection as you lie helpless and wailing before Me,
crying for your own need unable to respond to Me at this moment
with the love I desire.
You are like a child - My child, cherished and valuable.
I gave My life for thee, My little one.
now you live.
I have birthed you in pain and sacrifice to make you My own
by your faith in what I have done for you on Calvary.
My little one, now open your newborn eyes and see
how valuable you are to Me.
