I know to God I am precious,
for He sent to me this trial
His grace shall be sufficient
in this, there can be no denial.
Though my faith is being tested,
through the furnace I need to go
when all is said and done
there’ll be a heavenly afterglow.
All this pain and suffering,
are but for a passing moment
for the blood of Jesus . . .
shall be my eternal atonement.
One day I know I will see,
my Lord’s glorious appearing
and that is why this trial . . .
to me ~ is worth enduring.
~~~~~~~~~~
1 Peter 1:7
“That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious
than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise
and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”
King James Version

Yes we are Precious to God Deborah, a priceless Treasure, He gave His all to rescue us, He could not handle the thought that we would suffer eternally and so Jesus was wounded for the wrong we did and when we stand up for Him so will we be oppressed by the evil in this world, yes in Life we will suffer but God promises to protect us from the fire, and He also does not afflict us as we can see below.
Lamentations 3: 33 For God doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the Children of men.
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”
Jeremiah 29 :11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Thinking of you in prayer Deborah – Christian Love Always – Anne
