We are jewels

Friends, consider this passage:

So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the LORD
And who meditate on His name.
"They shall be Mine," says the LORD of Hosts,

"On the day that I make them My jewels.
And I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him."
Malachi 3:16b-17 [NKJV]

The LORD of Hosts is how God refers to Himself when He wants to call attention to awesome might and power He has at His disposal. He commands armies made up of awesome creatures, the likes of which are beyond our ability to describe. And as the mighty warrior that He is, the LORD brings His people under His protection.

Almighty God treasures us. He calls us "jewels". He has exercised His authority to designate His people as something special, unique and valuable.

No matter how present circumstances have affected your current situation, remember that nothing in this world can diminish your eternal value.

Be encouraged, Jose
