Jesus Loves You

August 17

You are loved today, you are honored today, you are lifted in prayer today. Even if I were not loving and honoring and praying for you, Jesus would be, because YOU are precious to HIS HEART. Because He keeps you as the apple of His eye, you are guarded and protected. Your life, your mind, and your spirit, are secure in Him.

Think of the magnitude of that promise, "He keeps you as the apple of His eye." The eye is so precious that the structure of the face is designed to protect it. The forehead, the bridge of the nose, the cheek bones, the eyebrows, eyelids, eyelashes--all are in place to protect the eye! YOU are the apple of His eye. By that analogy, He is telling you that the resources of Heaven surround you to protect you!

The wind will surely blow dust and debris into the face of the believer in Christ, but his eyes are protected because of the Lord's brilliant design. Just so, the wind of adversity will blow into his life, but his life is protected because of the Lord's amazing love for him. "...He keeps him as the apple of His eye." Deuteronomy 32:10

God bless you always. Abide in the power He says is resident in you. Use it to pull down strongholds wherever you find them—especially when they are within you. Never allow yourself to forget for a moment that the God of the universe touched you, claimed you as His own and keeps you. You are “the apple of His eye”!

JESUS LOVES YOU!
