While it is true that we ought to maintain a holy reverence for almighty God, we must also remember one other important truth. It is that God loves us infinitely. He values us greatly. He knows us intimately.
Jesus pointed out some ordinary sparrows to His disciples. He noted that they were considered preeminently ordinary and lacking in value. Yet God knew every one. God saw when they suffered harm. He cared about the humblest of His creatures. If God, Jesus explained, cared about a tiny, ordinary bird, then how much more did He care for us? God knows the number of hairs on our head. He knows when we are hurting and when we are experiencing need.
In times of want, we can forget just how much God cares for us. We can be tempted to assume that God must have overlooked us, or be preoccupied with more urgent, important matters. But God’s own Son made certain to express to us His Father’s heart: God loves you! He knows you. He is always aware of what you are experiencing. You can trust Him.
