We are Worthy

Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?
Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.
Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.
Do not be afraid.
You are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7

Reflection:
There is something about knowing that when we go against God, he sheds light on what we have hidden. It is when we continue to go against God, we will soon find our way to Gehenna.

We were all given a free will to live our life as we choose. We also were given special laws to follow, to help us live this free will in a just an upright moral way. For example; knowing the fact that we have broken one of the commandments, but in this we continue to morally degrade ourselves for our so called pleasure or the pleasure of another, then we have placed ourselves on the edge of the abyss, if not a good way into it.

What many do not realize the purpose God had in giving us these rules. It was to safeguard us from placing ourselves where we do not belong. If anything, I can say with absolute certainty, that when another person tries to change you for their pleasure and try to corrupt your moral fiber to suit them, then by all means run as fast as you can away from the path that is put before you. This is one test in my life that I am deeply thankful for God's teaching, that he knows every hair on my head and that I am worth all to him to be saved from a life of death.

Please for all that you are worth heed his words and follow his path, you will find no regret in doing so. It is with regret that we veer away from him. God Bless you all for living a life lived in him and with him.
