I Am Special

It’s easy to wonder sometimes if I am really special in God’s eyes? Life’s struggles, mistakes, or criticisms can blur our worth. But Scripture paints a different picture. You are not forgotten, not overlooked, you are not average. You are known, chosen, and deeply loved by the One who made you. God doesn’t just tolerate you—He delights in you. His love isn’t based on performance but on His perfect, unwavering nature.

Jeremiah 31:3 reminds us, “I have loved you, O my people, with an everlasting love; with loving-kindness I have drawn you to me” (TLB). His love is not seasonal or shallow—it’s everlasting. Before you achieved anything, He already called you His own. That truth secures your identity.

You don’t need to earn God’s affection—you already have it. Walk today knowing you are special, not because of what you’ve done, but because of whose you are.
