Called by Name

 But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,

    the One who got you started, Israel:

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.

When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.

    When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.

When you’re between a rock and a hard place,

    it won’t be a dead end—

Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior.

I paid a huge price for you:  all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!

That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you!

I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.  (Isaiah 43:1-4)

Remember folks, when God called you onto himself, he already knew your weaknesses, your pit falls, your stupidity and you upcoming failures. And yet, he would trade the world for you. Do you realize your worth? Don’t waste it.
