God has this and His children, whom he loves dearly, in the palm of His hand. None, not one, escapes His sight.
“Not a sparrow falls to the ground that He does not see”
“Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground”
And if He cares so greatly for these little birds, how much more so does He care for you (_your_name_here_)?
You...whom He made in His very image. You, who are a co-heir in His righteousness and glory.
The song sings “His eye is on the sparrow” to remind us of His GREAT love.
“Not a sparrow falls to the ground that He does not see”
Great scriptures and great thoughts. I can remember how I felt about Jesus’ words there when I was a little boy a long time ago.
It meant so much to me then and still does today. In fact, reading your post, I just got that same feeling of comfort reading them that I did when I was a little boy. The exact same feeling of peace and comfort.
That was my late husband’s favorite hymn.
And....
What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and yet lose his own soul?
Some people are so fixated on the money and what the economy is going to do and OH NO!!!! we’re heading for an economic collapse and we might not be able to get THINGS, that they have completely lost sight of what is really important.
And that is that NOBODY is guaranteed their next breath and that eternity is a LONG time.
The thing this virus has done is brought home the fragility of life in a way that hasn’t happened in a very long time.
The most pampered and spoiled generations that have ever lived are having their own mortality thrown up in their faces and they simply do not know how to deal with it.
So they either panic or go into denial.
